An Application Centric View of Server Consolidation and IT Optimization
Overview Server consolidation and IT optimization are often used interchangeably. Server consolidation focuses on lowering cost by reducing the number of boxes, which is relatively easy to quantify and justify on the basis of a "Speeds-and-feeds" configuration and can be calculated purely "By the numbers" of CPU/disk/ memory requirements. IT optimization, on the other hand, typically includes server consolidation as an aspect but does so in a richer context, resulting in a more tempered and balanced solutions design that combines business process and goals, standards, systems and asset management, security and backup/disaster recovery, as well as server and applications consolidation.
