Scalable Windows Servers for the Data Center

Tags:
application servers

Overview Workloads such as business intelligence, database, decision support, and ERP applications - which are already available for Windows operating environments - are expanding to reach more users and to process more corporate data in many organizations. These workloads can sometimes outgrow smaller servers, prompting a search for scalable servers that can host those workloads, and manage them more easily in a datacenter environment. Server consolidation for Windows workloads is another driver of the need for scalable Windows servers. The process of IT transformation built on a new generation of hardware and software products will result in both scale-up and scale-out server deployments. In some cases, customers will choose to link multiple servers with clustering or grid software to support a given workload.
