Why Consolidate?

_

  • Reduce Licensing & Hardware Costs: Database servers make the best candidates for consolidation, significantly reducing RDBMS/OS licensing & hardware costs.
  • Reduce Management Costs: Consolidation means fewer devices and resources for management and support.
  • Increase System Utilization: Server workload seldom utilizes its full potential – smart consolidation results in more efficient utilization and power savings.
  • Utilize Virtualization:  The cost of operating multiple physical servers greatly outweighs the cost of virtualization software, providing the most cost-effective method for consolidation.

Database Server Consolidation Approach

We start by performing an analysis of your database environment, detecting any inactive or unused databases and assessing existing database server capacity, performance, and workload to identify patterns of CPU, RAM, and I/O rate.

Plan & Strategize

We develop a migration plan using a rolling schedule of outage windows designed to have the least impact on users. We then execute the plan to migrate, configure, and fully validate the identified databases to their new consolidated location(s).

Implement Consolidation Plan

We take advantage of the consolidation effort to apply patches, implement ongoing monitoring, and fully document the new configuration to help increase supportability and improve future troubleshooting.
