Today’s business agenda places an ever increasing demand on I.T. infrastructure. Datacenters are under great pressure to meet these demands but with limited physical space, power consumption and cooling costs to consider it’s only a matter of time before the server sprawl comes to a grinding halt.

So, what’s the answer?
Consolidation.
