Production Server Consolidation
As enterprises grow, IT organizations must rapidly add computing capacity -
often in the form of new servers with disparate operating environments. The
resulting server sprawl is costly in terms of capital and people needed to
operate, manage, and upgrade new servers.

IT organizations are under pressure
to:
-
Increase system maintenance efficiency
-
Rapidly deploy new systems to address business needs
-
Find technologies to reduce associated capital, personnel, and operational
costs
Server consolidation with VMware provides a solution for these challenges.
Virtual infrastructure enables unprecedented levels of workload isolation,
granular resource control for all of the system's computing and I/O resources.
Virtual Infrastructure integrates well with existing system management software
and improves return on investment in shared storage (SAN). By consolidating
physical systems in the data center onto servers with VMware virtual
infrastructure, enterprises experience:
-
Lower hardware acquisition and maintenance costs
-
Consolidation of idle system resources
-
Increased operational efficiency
-
Cost-effective and consistent production environments
