Time for a Change ?

The 'one application per server' rule has a lot to answer for. How many servers do you run today – for the web-tier, back-office systems, development and testing, file sharing? It’s no wonder your data center is complex. And with that complexity comes inflexibility, poor service availability, and of course higher operating costs. You need to regain control: drive down risk and cost, enhance manageability and give IT back the agility and scalability it needs. Virtualisation is the answer.
