Server Consolidation
Your staff probably spend too much time managing too many servers,
many at remote sites.
Benefits of Consolidation
Server Consolidation will bring the following benefits to your
organisation :
Centralise operations consolidate server sites
Fewer points of failure
Reduce the Total Cost of Ownership
Reduce server estate to reduce costs
Leverage central data centres and their staff
Greater control of the environment
Our customers have enjoyed these benefits by reducing their server real estate (typically by at least fifty percent), spending less time on server administration and monitoring. They have also been able to consolidate their
data onto storage area networks.

We are experiencing many customer choosing a combination of
Virtualisation
solutions and implementing Microsoft Windows Server 2003 high-availability solutions

Consolidating with Embrionic
Clearly this messaging strategy reduces hardware requirements and Windows Server licences
and therefore business costs, but increases the reliance on a smaller number of servers, so
operational management and
business continuity is a key
consideration.
Embrionic has been involved in a significant number of consolidation projects,
and can advise on recommended
practice and avoid the pitfalls of an improperly designed and implemented
solution.
