2 Are you asking yourself what to do about the following issues?  My operations staff is shrinking...  My IT maintenance costs are rising...  My equipment keeps breaking down…  My servers are too distributed...  My software is out of date...  I need to standardize my hardware and software...  I need to implement a standard system...

3 Then you should consider Server Consolidation

4 Server Consolidation from Compaq Computer Corporation  Server Consolidation is one of the hottest buzzwords in the industry today!  The introduction of faster, cheaper servers has you searching for ways to reduce your cost of operations while increasing productivity.  Compaq, with its world-class families of servers, storage, services and networking has been, and will continue to be, a predominant player in the Server Consolidation marketplace.

5 Types of Server Consolidation Server Consolidation Keeping the servers where they are currently located but providing a standardized way of managing them and connecting them to the network and the user community. Moving widely distributed servers into more centralized locations or data centers. The reduction of the overall number of servers. Older, slower, more expensive servers are replaced with fewer, more powerful, less expensive servers.
