Successful server consolidation: it's all in the preparation
More efficient
hardware
Introducing newer, more efficient server hardware into the IT environment gives IT
professionals an easy way to streamline the infrastructure. Blade servers are designed
for space constrained IT environments. Compared to average servers, blades take up
80% less space and consume 40% less power, without losing any processing power.
High-end servers with more processing power and multiple processors are also available
such as the ProLiant DL580 server, a 4-way server, and the ProLiant DL760, an 8-way
server. Bigger servers with multiple processing capabilities are ideal for messaging,
applications and databases.
