Over time many organisations have found that the old fashioned strategy of 'One Application, One Server' has simply led to a room full of under-utilised machines that require an excessive amount of administration, power and space – the infamous 'Server Sprawl' scenario.
By employing a Virtual Infrastructure you can achieve much higher utilisation levels from your systems and can therefore reduce the number of physical machines required, consolidation ratios of 20-1* are not unheard of, thereby saving on power, cooling and space costs and delivering you a much greener IT network.
* Actual consolidation ratios will vary from customer to customer depending on application and hardware specifications, but will be confirmed following the recommended Capacity Planning phase.
