A recent IT industry survey reported that 89% of respondents are in the process of consolidating servers or are planning to do so. The motivating factors behind server consolidation include agility, availability, security and regulatory compliance. Moreover, TCO is improved by server consolidation since IT personnel can manage consolidated servers more easily and effectively than a large collection of dedicated-purpose systems. But risk avoidance is important since applications don't always coexist. IBM eServer BladeCenter clustered systems running Linux with PolyServe Matrix Server is a powerful and effective architecture for consolidation. This paper presents a Proof of Concept that demonstrates the consolidation of 60 Oracle10g databases into a 14-node cluster focusing on manageability, performance and availability.
