Server administrators in corporate and enterprise environments are taking advantage of improvements in server hardware performance and reliability as well as operating system software upgrades. They are now able to consolidate server functions into fewer, higher performance systems while migrating them to more modern operating systems. Consolidating server systems offers benefits for all types of servers. This paper, however, focuses on the methods and strategies available to consolidate print server functions and presents several migration methods that vary in their degree of automation and flexibility.
