The conversion to server consolidation, although very beneficial to the on-demand organization, is not without concerns. Traditional mainframes and midrange systems were considered very secure. But the introduction of Linux and Microsoft Windows based systems inside these machines, and TCP/IP networking connecting them all together on virtual LANs, introduces the same security concerns that physical servers and LANs have had for many years. This paper explore the issues surrounding server consolidation on the mainframe and midrange systems, and detail how StoneGate can address the security concerns providing for a secure on-demand workplace, a significant return on investment and the enablement of new business processes.
