Overview:

Moving to a consolidated data center reduces the number of servers, which can minimize required investments in hardware, hardware maintenance charges, data center space costs and energy use—both in terms of electrical power that servers consume and electrical power that cooling systems consume. All of these factors contribute to immediate cost savings. Virtualization also shortens the implementation timetable for new servers running mission-critical applications. While all of these benefits are important to businesses, it’s difficult to put a dollar value onto them. In this chapter, our expert outlines systematic and phased approach you can use to server consolidation to ensure that your data center reaps all the benefits of virtualization.
