Reduce Costs
Consolidation helps you make more efficient use of your resources, thus lowering TCO, reducing costs and increasing ROA. A less complex IT environment frees up your expert staff to work on more strategic business objectives, and it also frees up valuable real estate. Reduce software license fees and associated maintenance costs. Reduce the costs of multiple, inefficient systems by consolidating to a Sun platform running a common Solaris Operating Environment. And for larger backup operations, consolidate to a SAN environment to reduce costs through improved efficiencies.
Increase Service Levels
Data growth and management has exploded for many companies, many of which are still using a distributed storage infrastructure. Sun's broad product portfolio and common Solaris Operating Environment enables customers to consolidate to a consistent architecture for increased availability and manageability Dynamically reallocate system resources on the fly to meet changing workload demands using Dynamic Reconfiguration and Dynamic System Domains. Consolidation can help you to increase overall security by implementing highly secure operation environments like Solaris, and moving assets into controlled data centers. Simplifying business continuity plans and enabling disaster recovery can also help ensure that your systems are up and running and reduce interruptions to your business.
Reducing Power, Cooling, and Space Requirements
Whether you want efficiency that's light years ahead or want to win the space race, new Sun Fire CoolThreads servers will propel your web infrastructure beyond it's current universe. The Sun Fire T1000 server is 4x smaller than the Dell 8950 and the IBM p5+ 520, while maintaining 4.5x and 2.5x lower power consumption, respectively. At 3x smaller than the IBM x366, the Sun Fire T1000 consumes nearly 6x less power! The Sun Fire T2000 is 2x smaller than the Dell 8950 and the IBM p5+ 520, while maintaining 3x lower power consumption. At one third the foot print of the IBM x366, the Sun Fire T2000 consumes nearly 3.5x less power.
If you would like to make your web services infrastructure more secure and agile while reducing your power and space requirements by as much as 95%, consolidate your web infrastructure to Sun Fire CoolThreads servers.
Improve Manageability
By standardizing your data center, Sun can help you reduce complexity, significantly improve efficiencies, and increase utilization of resources in the data center. Architectural consistency simplifies management and maintenance, and having a standardized infrastructure simplifies staff and end-user training. Consolidation leverages staff and simplifies implementation of management best practices.
Fewer business interruptions
Consolidation can help you to increase overall security by implementing highly secure operation environments like Solaris, and moving assets into controlled data centers. Simplifying business continuity plans and enabling disaster recovery can also help ensure that your systems are up and running and reduce interruptions to your business.
