Server Consolidation & Containment Server sprawl. Wasted capacity. Energy-hungry data centers. Sound familiar?The need to keep applications on separate servers because of bandwidth, support, and security constraints has lead to severely underutilized capacity in many data centers – with as much as 90 percent of server capacity sitting unused. At the same time, you may be adding new servers and expanding your data center to house them all. The overhead costs alone of all this wasted capacity are enough to make a CFO cry.
