Server Consolidation is often defined to mean running many differing types of applications, such as email, financials, database, and file serving, on a single very large server. However, many of the same benefits of consolidating to a single, or very few, servers can be achieved through other consolidation approaches. Due to this, the definition of server consolidation is broad and has evolved to encompass much more than running everything possible on as few servers as possible. This whitepaper tries to make users understand what is server consolidation in today's Information Technology (IT) environment, by breaking it down into three different approaches: logical, physical, and workload.
