Data center consolidation or relocation means that your end users are tapping data and applications from data centers sometimes located a great distance away. Users — employees, customers, suppliers — need to access your network at all hours of the day and from many locations around the globe. Network Integration Services for data center networks builds on IBM's reputation as an experienced player in data centers and addresses situations where clients wish to refresh a data center network, consolidate data centers or relocate data centers.

Clients are under pressure to do so now — to address business changes, increase capacity, address resiliency, and manage heating and cooling costs. Changes to data centers can have profound networking implications. To meet user expectations and realize the return on investment on IT investments you need to consider:

  data center, server and storage consolidation and relocation
  virtualization
  multi-tiered application architectures
  back-up data center configurations
  Implementation Services for System p - APV
  dependency on web based revenue streams and automated supply chains
  new applications
