 Server Consolidation
| | |
Today, many IT departments are trying to save money by reducing the number of servers within their organization, while maintaining the same high levels of service. In the last decade, Intel® processor-based servers have proliferated throughout many companies. They provided a tactical, cost effective and easy-to-implement business solution. Although some of these servers still perform key tasks for their users, studies have found that many of them are underutilized, expensive to maintain, difficult to manage and rapidly becoming technically obsolete.
With IBM
System x™ and
BladeCenter® highly reliable and flexible servers running Microsoft Windows Server® 2003 software, you are able to provide cost-effective solutions for your server consolidation projects today and tomorrow.

IBM System x and BladeCenter servers offer a variety of consolidation strengths and options depending on your organization's workload requirements. For example, you can consolidate:
- Multiple servers running the same type of Windows application workload (“like-to-like” applications) onto a System x server utilizing Windows Server 2003.
- Multiple SQL database servers onto an 8-way IBM
x3950 utilizing new SQL Server 2005 functionality.
- Multiple Web servers using
Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 onto one server, such as a 4-way IBM
x3850, utilizing Windows Server 2003.
- A number of departmental file servers onto one System x server such as the
,
x3400 or
with the performance and scalability provided by Windows Server 2003.
- Multiple application workloads on a single 4, 8, 16, or 32-way server using the scalability and power of the IBM System
x3950.
- Windows System Resource Manager (WSRM) allows multiple applications to be safely consolidated onto fewer larger servers, such as an 8 or 16-way
x3950 server, which can help lower operating costs.
