What's the price tag for innovation? That depends on the servers you choose. Distributed or mainframe technology, you have to look beyond purchase price to total cost of ownership and throughput.

If server migration is on your to-do list, there's an easy and cost-effective way to swap chaos and complexity for flexibility and control.
