Server Consolidation
Server Consolidation is a restructuring of your company's infrastructure for the purpose of reducing costs and improving control by optimising the resource requirements. Our consultants have experieince to help address the key stages of consolidation (Logical, Physical, Workload, and Application), including the critical first step of preparing a business analysis to determine an estimated return on investment achievable from the effort.
P1 recommends Dell's PowerEdgeTM Energy Smart server family. This range meets the needs for high performance, manageability, and flexibility dictated by consolidation requirements. With the introduction of Energy Smart servers, Dell is introducing the next step towards reducing server power draw and the resulting system heat. This new offering provides additional gains in both power efficiency as well as performance per watt, helping customers to maximize server resources.
