As organizations and their computing needs grow, they tend to accumulate servers, which get distributed across offices and departments. Over time, any organization can end up with servers of different configurations, some of them completely out of date, running a variety of OSs and applications. Since each server is individually purchased, there would be redundancies like extra CPU power, disk space and RAM built into each, which when added up could come to a lot.

Why Servers Consolidation?

Reduce hardware and software costs, including maintenance, upgrade and licensing costs. Reduce total cost of ownership through more optimized staffing, training, space and environment (UPS, backup, airconditioning, etc) utilization and system management. Optimize server performance by faster application deployment and by creating more secure environments. Improve server utilization through higher utilization levels with layered platform software on fewer, more powerful servers. Improve service availability by moving to platforms with high availability features like Active-Active clustering. Reduce cost of support. Outdated servers cost a lot to maintain, and even more to upgrade. o, you might as well consolidate many of them at one time. Similarly, you many have “orphan” applications that cannot be migrated to newer OSes , nor have vendor support , and need to be rewritten afresh.

Consolidation Methodologies:

Logical consolidation
Where there is no physical relocation of servers and the goal is to implement common processes and enable standard systems management procedures across the server applications.

Physical consolidation
Which entails the colocation of multiple platforms at fewer locations.

Rationalized consolidation
Which means implementing multiple applications on fewer, more-powerful platforms, usually through partitioning and workload management.

International Data Corporation Japan (IDC Japan) announced that the Application Outsourcing market in Japan was $ 1,010,000,000 in 1999. (July 31, 2000 http://www.bizns.nikkeibp.co.jp) IDC predicts the information system outsourcing and application outsourcing to grow at a CAGR of 12.9 % between 1999 to 2004. This growth is due to the changing business environment in Japan. These past years Japanese corporations have been pressured by the need to become more cost-efficient and by the new competitive environment created by globalization and deregulation of industries such as telecommunications and the financial sectors. The increasing competitive atmosphere has coerced corporations to strengthen IT capabilities, streamline business processes, and focus on core competencies. As in the U.S. companies are often unable to hire competent technical staff and keep up with the new and rapidly changing technologies available.

IDC Japan predicts the growth rate of the ASP market to be 118.6 % per year until 2004 with a market size of $ 510,800,000 or 30 % of the whole Application outsourcing market in 2004.(July 31, 2000 http://www.bizns.nikkeibp.co.jp)
