Server Consolidation - Cut Operating and Capital Expenses

Server consolidation is an approach to the efficient usage of computer server resources in order to reduce the total number of servers or server locations that an organization requires. The practice developed in response to the problem of server sprawl, a situation in which multiple, under-utilized servers take up more space and consume more resources than can be justified by their workload.

NM Network Solutions  we specializes in virtual server migration and consolidation. With the recent advances in virtualization, server consolidation has not only become affordable, but it can bring I.T. costs down a considerable amount. The primary goal for server consolidation is to take multiple physical servers and move them to a single server. This allows you to save money on hardware maintenance, upgrades, administration and rack space costs.

Another benefit to server consolidation is that it allows you to have a more robust disaster recovery / backup system in place. Using replication tools, we can setup live replication of your virtual servers to another server in your office or in another location (data center, satellite office.) With live replication running, if one of your virtual servers or all of them crash, you can have the other server take over without missing a beat. In the past, this was possible, but very costly because of the need for multiple physical servers.

We can perform server consolidation of the following Server Operating Systems: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 Small Business, Windows Server 2008 .
