With the proliferation of client/server and Web-driven applications in today's enterprise environments, many companies are seeing the number of installed servers reach increasingly inefficient levels. And it is not just a lack of floor space—the time, cost, and manpower related to the maintenance of separate, dedicated mail servers, file servers, Web servers, database servers, and network servers have grown increasingly complex, inefficient, and expensive, requiring escalating investments in both equipment and staff.

In the face of this server population explosion, it has become imperative, economically and efficiently, to consolidate distributed applications and workloads onto fewer and larger servers. This helps to reduce the cost of maintaining and administering such systems—without sacrificing quality of service or the performance of mission- and business-critical processes across the enterprise.

As a result, a growing number of companies are turning to server consolidation—bringing together multiple applications, databases, and services onto fewer, highly reliable Intel processor-based servers. By increasing the control and reducing the number of hardware and software platforms, server consolidation creates a more streamlined, centralized environment to improve efficiency, uptime, and overall quality of services. It also means significantly lower operating costs.
