The Essential Guide to Solving Server Sprawl


Rick Heiges

In addition to the traditional problems of running a data center, a new challenge has slowly been gaining ground in the past few years: Server sprawl. The evolution of modern business has brought unbridled growth, mergers, acquisitions, and the decentralization of IT services. As a result of these activities, many organizations find themselves amid an ever-growing clutter of servers.

As a result, many organizations are struggling to consolidate their computer systems in an effort to save office space, energy, and human resources. Whereas in the past, consolidation was considered an “interesting” activity, today many organizations are reaping the very real financial rewards of consolidation, especially when carefully taking these items into account:

· A clear understanding the problem of server sprawl

· Steps for a successful consolidation

· Hardware options

· Scalability

· Licensing options

The challenge of server sprawl, coupled with the desire to reduce energy costs and the increasing demand for computer resources and rack space, make today an ideal time to consider Microsoft SQL Server 2005 for database consolidation in 64-bit computing environment.
