- Improved Standardization: Fewer servers allow easier enforcement of standards
- Improved Utilization: With fewer servers, each one will likely utilize all its resources. Companies will need to purchase fewer software licenses, and use those already purchased more efficiently. Consolidation also improves server scalability: the ability of the system to adequately accommodate extra load, including the capacity to run applications simultaneously, and to manage and allocate available resources
- Inmproved Security and Management: Fewer servers means fewer holes would-be hackers can use to get into and damage the servers and their content. Backing up data also takes much less time.
- By implementing a server consolidation strategy, you can increase the space utilization efficiency in your data center.
