Today's business conditions demand that enterprises get the most from their resources. Whether you are dealing with government regulations, security concerns or internal business aliments, Consolidation can drive significant Return on Investment and increase Return on Assets. The average Fortune 500 company has hundreds - if not thousands - of servers distributed throughout its enterprise. With a multiplicity of systems sometimes comes a conglomeration of operating systems. Add to that complexity the possibility of multiple, disparate storage systems, a variety of applications, as well as hundreds of desktop systems, and your IT environment can transform from highly sophisticated to unbearably complex. When these systems are not well-utilized, they drain valuable resources from your business. Consolidation is a solution customers are looking towards to solve these business challenges.

Consolidating the Web Tier

The continued increase in demand for IT services is creating major challenges for many businesses that are running short on computing capacity in their data centers. Research indicates that more than 80 percent of data centers are constrained by power, cooling, and space. As IT services grow, IT managers are also finding that managing and operating their expanding network of servers is much more costly than was anticipated. In addition to creating an expensive management challenge, the server sprawl pandemic is requiring business to tackle multiple software, hardware, and security upgrades. Hindered by high costs and capacity constraints, IT managers have recently turned their focus to consolidating the Web tier and deploying more energy efficient servers.
