General consolidation that includes the consolidation of legacy applications and commodity workloads, are essential but may be costly if done incorrectly. By consolidating these systems onto fewer hardware resources, organizations can expect to reduce the costs of keeping them running while improving service levels.
Legacy ConsolidationTo address these issues, many companies consolidate underutilized legacy applications on to newer standard hardware configurations. This results in greater security and lower ongoing maintenance and operations costs.
Commodity Workload ConsolidationCommodity workloads are the underlying fabric of any IT organization. Commodity workloads include the day-to-day applications that are essential to running of any company including file and print, intranet or departmental applications such as Microsoft SharePoint and even some external web applications.
These workloads are essential for organizations to function, and thus each group or department fills the need to ensure that they deliver these services to their employees. However, these typically leverage only a fraction of the server resources and thus create pools underutilized servers.
Server consolidation with Parallels’ virtualization solutions is ideal for ensuring that groups and departments get the services and flexibility they need at the lowest possible cost.
Parallels delivers a range of products for general consolidation initiatives based on each organization’s specific needs and requirements.
