Server Consolidation
By consolidating critical data and applications, you can do more with less. Server consolidation on IBM® eServers optimizes performance with advanced manageability and the freedom to run a wide variety of workloads. At the same time, it reduces the overall cost of ownership.
Logical partitioning (LPAR) is a strategy to optimize IT investments through consolidation of hardware, software, networks, data centers and skills. LPAR provides quick consolidation of multiple workload environments, application environments, time zones and footprints within fewer eServer systems. It often provides immediate cost reductions when systems are outdated and have high maintenance costs associated with them.
Planning is key to a successful LPAR solution. The technology professionals of DSI offer certified expertise and experience in guiding the design and planning of LPAR systems. An LPAR design from DSI may include all of the following:
- Performance analysis using state-of-the-art tools
- Other hardware/network analysis and documentation for planning
- A professional recommendation based on industry experience
- Acquisition services for the required hardware and application software
- A professionally developed design document and implementation services
By consolidating applications on fewer eServers, you can save money, reduce the complexity of your IT infrastucture and spend more time focusing on business – not technology.
