Server Consolidation

Server consolidation focuses on significantly increasing the utilisation of your infrastructure within the data centre and is often the first step for any organisation on their virtual journey. In order to consolidate your server environment aggregation is key and this will only be achieved by introducing virtualisation and hypervisors. Through spreading the cost of systems onto shared aggregated hardware results in substantial capital and operational savings and increased business agility.

In recent years most enterprise data centres are becoming large, inefficient and complex to manage, all of which drives up the operational cost of delivering IT to the business. To address this issue server consolidation and virtualisation has rapidly emerged as the number one priority for IT management globally. However many projects are often yet to move past the planning stage as a comprehensive business case has not been produced. Virtual Age is often engaged to work with IT to build the business case for server virtualisation and demonstrate the immediate savings released by a capital investment in virtualised infrastructure.

Successful server consolidation initiatives require considerable planning, resource time and effort and a thorough understanding of the workloads that need to be consolidated. Virtual Age has developed a process to help you consolidate your environments and as a leading integrator is able to take ownership of the project risk and manage this effectively to ensure measurable savings are returned.
