SERVER CONSOLIDATION & CONTAINMENT

As enterprises grow, IT organizations must rapidly add computing capacity - often in the form of new servers with disparate operating environments. The resulting server sprawl is costly in terms of capital and the people needed to operate, manage, and upgrade new servers.

IT organisations are under pressure to:

• Improve system maintenance efficiency
• Rapidly deploy new systems to meet business needs
• Find technologies to reduce associated capital, personnel and operational costs.

Server consolidation with Datapac provides a solution for these challenges.  Virtual infrastructure enables unprecedented levels of workload isolation, granular resource control for all of the system's computing and I/O resources. It integrates well with existing system management software and improves return on investment in shared storage (SAN). 

By consolidating physical systems in the data centre onto servers, enterprises experience:

• Lower hardware acquisition/maintenance costs
• Consolidation of idle system resources
• Improved operational efficiency
• Cost-effective & consistent production environments.

All of this will: reduce servers, use less energy, lower carbon footprint and improve IT efficiency.
