Essentials for Successful Server Consolidation
It's obvious that distributed servers have serious shortcomings leading to high hardware and software and operations costs, difficult administration, and frequent performance and availability problems. Server consolidation can help alleviate these issues. Companies of various sizes from different industries have received impressive results from consolidation projects.
Creating a consolidated server environment requires an eye for detail and lots of upfront planning. One of the most important elements for success is a full understanding of end-to-end performance and capacity. IT managers must collect granular data to understand the behavior of the distributed architecture, then use this knowledge to design and plan for server consolidation. Once the project is completed, ongoing monitoring and management is crucial to maintain adequate service levels to business users.
