Consolidation techniques:
Process Consolidation
Process consolidation is the least intrusive of the consolidation techniques. By standardizing administrative procedures and processes company-wide, an organization can take advantage of the sharing of IT resources, consistency of deployments, and fully documented & compliant operating standards.
Physical Consolidation
Physical consolidation can consist of:
- relocating systems to a single server site (# of servers remains the same) to take advantage of reduced support costs, increased server-to-server throughput capabilities and centralized backup and administration.
- combining distributed applications and services onto fewer servers, replacing large numbers of underutilized, smaller servers with servers sized for specific activity levels resulting in higher levels of service with faster response times. One way to accomplish this is through virtualization.
Logical Consolidation
Logistical consolidation is a combination of both process and physical consolidation strategies. This type of consolidation puts the systems and tools in place so that you don't have to manage every item discreetly. It allows you to set up one server and replicate to all servers or manage multiple servers or systems as one resource.
This provides the ability to mange "N" servers as one system; rapidly and automatically deploy discrete IS functional resources such as web services, app services, storage capacity in response to demand spikes; deploy virtual platforms with identical configurations for each role and achieve higher utilization throughout the entire IT infrastructure from network access to servers to storage devices.
