Today's business conditions demand that enterprises get the most
from their resources. Whether you are dealing with government
regulations, security concerns or internal business aliments,
Consolidation can drive significant Return on Investment and
increase Return on Assets. The average Fortune 500 company has
hundreds - if not thousands - of servers distributed throughout
its enterprise. With a multiplicity of systems sometimes comes a
conglomeration of operating systems. Add to that complexity the
possibility of multiple, disparate storage systems, a variety of
applications, as well as hundreds of desktop systems, and your IT
environment can transform from highly sophisticated to unbearably
complex. When these systems are not well-utilized, they drain
valuable resources from your business. Consolidation is a solution
customers are looking towards to solve these business challenges.
Consolidating the Web Tier
The continued increase in demand for IT services is creating major
challenges for many businesses that are running short on computing
capacity in their data centers. Research indicates that more than
80 percent of data centers are constrained by power, cooling, and
space. As IT services grow, IT managers are also finding that
managing and operating their expanding network of servers is much
more costly than was anticipated. In addition to creating an
expensive management challenge, the server sprawl pandemic is
requiring business to tackle multiple software, hardware, and
security upgrades. Hindered by high costs and capacity
constraints, IT managers have recently turned their focus to
consolidating the Web tier and deploying more energy efficient
servers.
Sun has solutions that can help you get more out of your Web tier
server infrastructure while reducing the cost of operating Web
and application servers. New Sun Fire T1000 and T2000 CoolThreads
servers, powered by the revolutionary UltraSPARC(tm) T1 processor
to deliver performance and efficiency that's light years ahead,
can help you win the space race. At just 1-2 rack units, you can
slash your Web infrastructure footprint by as much as 95% while
dramatically improving application performance.
