blades

Overview This white paper describes how Micro-Partitioning can be employed on IBM e server p5 570 systems for server consolidation. It includes an example consolidation scenario and explores the performance robustness of Micro-Partitioning in a demanding transactional environment. Increasing emphasis on the cost of delivering IT services has unleashed an unprecedented interest in server consolidation. Server consolidation refers to the simplification and optimization of IT environments by reducing the number of discrete components of infrastructure.
