As organizations grow and their data management needs increase, they typically add new servers, applications and, in some cases, different operating systems to accommodate the needs of their users across their various operating units. While addressing the problem of accommodating additional data volumes, these additions also create new issues, most notably by increasing the costs and operational complexities brought about by the growing "server sprawl."
Server consolidation solutions use a combination of hardware and software to reduce the physical number of servers used by an organization while at the same time increasing their efficiency and performance capabilities. The results are usually dramatic: significant cost reductions - through lower cost of ownership and reduced operating and maintenance costs - and dramatically improved system manageability.
