Server Consolidation
BCS can quickly and accurately model a company's hardware and software topology in order to develop an effective plan for server consolidation. At the core of our modeling concept is an extensive database with over 38PB of data used to provide detailed analytical information. We couple the data with a variety of mathematical methodologies to produce several business case scenarios to accurately model expectations that will reduce your overall TCO.

There are 6 main components of a server consolidation model:

Benefits include:

• Fewer servers to manage
• Simplification of networks

Total timeframe of involvement is 2 - 4 weeks on average. Building principals include inventory, applications, machines, workload footprint and industry comparison. Total cost of ownership covers hardware, software, maintenance, staffing, conversion & porting, training, salvage and indirect costs.

Results of our analysis are documented and bound in a detailed report with flexible business scenarios (10 to over 100) supplied at the end of the evaluation.
