For many companies, the concept of server consolidation connotes sweeping projects that replace numerous smaller servers with powerful, expensive workhorses. Many organizations have pursued this approach and realized significant cost savings and improved efficiency. Achieving the benefits of server consolidation, however, does not necessarily require a large-scale effort that is both extensive and expensive in terms of a lengthy planning cycle and up-front investment. Many organizations consolidate as part of the natural refresh cycle of their technology infrastructures. These efforts are more iterative processes, rather than one-time projects, that focus on reducing the number of datacenters as the technology infrastructure is updated and augmented. The results are still significant. By consolidating, organizations are able to boost efficiency and improve their service capabilities while maintaining an infrastructure that is robust, highly available, and adaptive to changing business requirements.
