Join Jeff Paschke, Data Center Research Analyst with Tier1 Research, and Todd Goldman, VP Product Management with nlyte Software, for this informative online session on the why's and how-to's of data center consolidation. 

The massive expansion of compute infrastructure over the last few decades has left many organizations facing power and cooling, floor space, and administrative challenges. Read this paper to learn how adopting application and server consolidation strategies to lower costs and streamline operations. 

This white paper describes the link between data center efficiency and business sustainability. Obtain detailed guidelines to help you make the link between these essential elements. 

This installment, the second in a three-part series, explores how simplification extends the value of data center standardization efforts and forms a stable, efficient base that can be used to support automation. 

Server buyers should consider the implications of vendor roadmaps and consolidation and look to capacity planning and objective tools when updating data center hardware. In this IT handbook you will learn the importance of a server roadmap, factors to consider in server selection, tips on server consolidation and capacity planning, and much more. 

<p>This case study follows one organization's approach to addressing their space, power, and cooling constraints. Explore the virtualization architecture they decided on and the key hardware, software, and service components that comprise it.</p> 

Since data centers are usually built over a long period of time, businesses end up with several small data centers scattered over a diverse area. To make more efficient use of these facilities, it’s generally best to consolidate. This resource presents best practices to data center consolidation. 

This final installment of a three-part series explores how automation builds on the stable, efficient base formed by a standardized, simplified, virtualized infrastructure to create a scalable resource to serve business needs. 

Security concerns continue to hobble consolidation efforts in the data center. The concerns are real, and most often stem from a scattershot, non-integrated approach to consolidation. There is a better, more secure way, grounded in servers and software platforms built from the ground up to work optimally with one another.
