Server and workload consolidation deals with much more than replacing many small
servers with a few larger ones. Consolidation starts with analyzing how to better
align and manage your existing IT infrastructure with your current business model
and establishing a flexible foundation for future requirements.
To get the most cost savings from various consolidation strategies, your business
must find ways to optimize and simplify your entire IT environment-from servers,
storage, data, and applications to networks, people resources and systems management
tools. Beyond cost savings, this approach will achieve gains in efficiency, information availability and productivity. It also sets a firm foundation for future rapid deployment
of new solutions that will enhance all of these strategic directions.
An availability solution can help organizations reduce or eliminate consolidation
downtime. Availability solutions come in many variations, ranging from better-than-tape
disk-based solutions that speed replication and loading efforts all the way to high
availability (HA) solutions that provide seamless access to data and applications
throughout the consolidation process.
Use the following resources to find out how specific Vision products can reduce
the risk to your organization before, during and after consolidation.
