Data Center Best Practices: Optimizing Service Infrastructure Through OS Portability

Overview Today's data center is an increasingly complex mixture of server platforms, hardware, operating systems, data, and applications that have accumulated over time. These legacy technologies are persistent, forming a collective of Windows and Linux servers that are costly to run and difficult to manage. Further complicating the problem, most of those servers are running sub-optimally yet they still consume power, require special temperature conditioning, and take up valuable data center floor space. As more servers are introduced, complexity grows as does the number of people required to manage it. This causes a dramatic increase in the probability of human error and the subsequent risk to the business services that the data center supports.
