Red Hat Services Pathway To IT Consolidation

Learn More




The costly proliferation of servers and their companion headaches impede system performance and increase costs. Often, server sprawl is the result of rapid growth and success, which is a good problem to have - up to a point.

If your system is bloated now, it means you have room to cut, and more room to grow more sensibly down the road. The best path to IT consolidation and a reduction in costs is to deploy technologies that conform to open industry standards.

A road map to achieving a converged, scalable infrastructure

The Red Hat Services Pathway to IT Consolidation moves you away from IT sprawl into a future of consolidation and choice. This strategic service combines a series of technical consulting engagements in a phased approach with product recommendations, open source expertise and best practices to reduce the overall sprawl common in many of today's heterogeneous data centers.

A team of Red Hat consultants will partner with you to:

  • Conduct an in-depth analysis of your existing IT infrastructure and make specific recommendations for consolidating systems and processes down to a more manageable portfolio.
  • Analyze and make recommendations for migrating to industry-standard hardware platforms to increase hardware homogeneity and reduce future IT operating expenses.
  • Make high-level recommendations for software, hardware, and process standardization and optimization to drive out operational inefficiencies.
  • Explore the use of low-cost virtualization technologies to achieve industry-leading system consolidation ratios.

The result? A converged, scalable infrastructure achieved quickly, cost-effectively, and with less risk.
