Solution: Server Consolidation

Challenge

iQstor storage virtualization offers advanced capabilities to address your server consolidation challenges, by eliminating the constraints of traditional storage systems and increasing efficiency while reducing your capital and operational expenses. Server virtualization will result in creation of many machine instances in a virtualized environment and often expands the complexities while reducing the utilization efficiencies of traditional storage systems. To achieve efficient server consolidation that maximizes required operational efficiencies, you must make sure that the storage architecture is a good fit with the consolidated server infrastructure.
Solution

Server consolidation results in combining the activities of multiple servers into a smaller number of systems. It is clear that there is an overlap between consolidation and virtualization, and consolidated servers can optimize IT costs and reduce TCO when there is an efficient storage infrastructure in place to support the server consolidation effort. By deploying iQstor storage systems in a virtualized environment, you can dramatically simplify the complexity and reduce both capital and operational costs while implementing your server consolidation strategy and accelerate its already proven benefits.

Benefits

  • Reduced capital and operational costs
  • Increased storage efficiency and utilization
  • Reduced storage complexity and overhead
  • Cost effectively deploy and manage servers and storage systems
  • Optimize IT costs and reduce TCO
