Server consolidation has been proven to optimize IT costs and efficiency while increasing business uptime.

Consequently, over 65 percent of all IT organizations are implementing or planning to implement server consolidation within the next 12 months. The advent of new architectures for servers and storage promises to further expand the already proven benefits of consolidation. Appropriately applying these new architectures to server consolidation efforts promises to enhance the bottom-line results of any consolidation project.

Consolidating servers and storage into fewer physical locations allows the IT organization to cost-effectively acquire, deploy, and manage infrastructure assets within an inherently more resilient environment.
