Question:
Server consolidation helps betterallocate available server computing resourcesamong an organization's many applications. This approach ensures that the machines a company has invested in don't go underutilized, or becomezombie servers(the lights are on, the machine is drawing power and operating, but not supporting any critically important application or workloads).Zombie servers and similar unbalanced use of server computing resources are more common problems within enterprise infrastructure than you might assume. It was only just a few years ago when the primary method of consolidation involved purchasing a new server to support each individual application a company depended upon. As the number of key apps increased, so too did the number of servers.Now, however, organizations are realizing that they can reduce the total number of servers within their data center or on-premises infrastructure, and better balance the workloads among server computing resources without hampering the performance of applications. What will be your strategy for this issue?
