SQL Server Consolidation on the 64-Bit Platform
Overview There are many considerations that need to be evaluated when determining how to approach the consolidation of many SQL Server databases on a single server. One important consideration is whether to use a 64-bit platform or a 32-bit platform to get the best consolidation results. The 64-bit platform offers some advantages over the 32-bit platform in this regard. For example, on the 32-bit platform, some technical limitations may require the use of multiple instances. But on the 64-bit platform, the decision to use multiple instances of SQL Server is more a data management decision than a technical limitation imposed by the platform.
