The growing size and complexity of enterprise data centers often leads to poor resource utilization and administrative headaches. To achieve greater efficiencies, many organizations are turning to server consolidation initiatives that leverage blade servers or virtual infrastructures.
The benefits of a successful server consolidation project include the retirement of old or underutilized hardware, savings in floor space and power consumption and an overall reduction in total cost of ownership. However, successful consolidation initiatives often require considerable upfront planning, time and effort.
PlateSpin Migrate, combined with PlateSpin Recon, allows organizations to perform complete end-to-end server consolidations faster and easier than ever before. PlateSpin accelerates the consolidation process by completely automating the capacity planning and migration phases of a consolidation project.
The cornerstone of the PlateSpin server consolidation solution is its workload portability technology which decouples data, applications and operating systems from the underlying hardware and automatically streams them to any physical or virtual platform.
By allowing the migration of physical servers to virtual machines or blade servers with a simple drag and drop, PlateSpin Migrate and PlateSpin Recon helps organizations realize an up to 50 to 1 savings in time and effort for server consolidations.
