Server Consolidation

Server consolidation offers an effective way to increase the efficiency of operations while reducing a wide range of IT costs. By consolidating multiple physical servers into virtual servers on a single physical machine, you will immediately begin reducing operational expenses.

IGI can assist your organization with consolidating its servers by managing every step from initiation through completion, including technical support.

We have helped organizations with as many as 4,000 servers consolidating their operations, including one of the largest server consolidation projects to date within the Federal Government.

Our practice in this area:

  • Provides your organization with a comprehensive Capacity Plan

  • Provides you with greater control over IT operations

  • Standardizes server platforms

  • Reduces power, space, and cooling costs

  • Increases utilization of existing hardware from 10-15% up to 80%

  • Accelerates backup processes

  • Enables new applications to be deployed faster with fewer servers to configure

  • Facilitates disaster recovery

Server consolidation can also help enterprises operate more environmentally and support green sustainability initiatives. By reducing space and energy use, organizations can minimize their carbon footprint and benefit their bottom line simultaneously.
