 Server consolidation reduces management strain and storage costs
The amount of data created and stored in data centers has increased exponentially in recent years. New tier storage processes suggest that you prioritize, store, protect and give proper access to all data with an infinite lifecycle. Your data center has the added responsibility to support communication such as e-mail, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and videoconferencing. And recent government regulations for data archiving and retrieval have further escalated the need for storage space.
In an effort to create flexible environments with sufficient storage, many IT executives implemented widely distributed heterogeneous systems that have become difficult to manage and costly to maintain. Tighter budgets and staffing constraints aggravate this problem. One solution to reduce costs and simplify management across your IT environment is through server consolidation.
Make your IT environment more efficient with blade servers
Blade servers offer enhanced processing capabilities, high-speed components, faster paths to external storage, high-speed interconnections and improved management software. Shared network cables, switches, power and storage provide better manageability and easy expansion. The rack-optimized blade design results in a smaller footprint capable of reducing the floor space required in your data center by more than 20 percent. Blade servers also install quickly and are hot swappable for easier maintenance and zero downtime.
 Centralize management of your network
Complement the streamlined management of blade servers with centralized network control. Advances in router and switch technology can give your business increased connectivity and greater control over network security. CDW has a complete line of routers and switches to ensure that your network offers security and ease of management.
Reduce total cost of ownership (TCO)
Because blade servers are modular, they can scale as your needs dictate, enabling you to make the most of your IT investment. The efficiency of shared power sources helps lower operating costs. Because of shared power and cooling sources, blade servers consume less power than rack-mounted servers. The result is an estimated 20–25 percent savings in power costs. Finally, because blade servers are managed via browser, the costs of keyboard, video, mouse (KVM) cables and switches are eliminated. This functionality alone can save you up to $25,000 for each server rack.1
