Business processes are increasingly dependent upon technology. After decades of expanding the IT infrastructure, many organizations own a large, complex network of systems. Current challenges within these environments include datacenter floor space limits, excessive energy costs, and constraints on administrative resources. Given these conditions, many IT managers seek a more reasonable IT infrastructure strategy.

Opportunities exist to gain efficiencies through application and server consolidation. Bringing together applications, databases, and services onto fewer, highly reliable servers can lower costs, increase efficiency, and reduce administration requirements. Sun SPARC Enterprise M-Series servers offer the scalability that can maximize the return on consolidation efforts. In addition, these systems provide a range of virtualization technologies — at no additional cost — that can help companies achieve the right level of application isolation and management flexibility.
