Moreover, capacity utilization has more than one facet: Each individual server takes up space in your data center. Each running server consumes expensive data- center power, cooling, cabling infrastructure and UPS capacity. All these physical considerations can be quantified into reduced TCO.
Adjustment 3: Care and maintenance
Move to the city, and forget tending an acre lot. Visualize one tomato plant in a pot on the fire escape. Likewise, fewer servers to care for equals more care for the servers you have. The process may be painful, but the result will be easier to maintain.
Less hardware means less failure. The more time your server administrators have to perform routine maintenance, the more likely that problems will be caught before they cause downtime. The result:
Server consolidation leads to greater uptime and reliability, letting you achieve service-level goals without breathing hard.
