Serverkonsolidierung in Rechenzentren

The increasing pressure on IT departments to improve IT performance while simultaneously reducing costs has brought server consolidation in data centers into the focus of IT decision-makers as a potential measure. Virtualization technology plays a significant role in this, as it allows for consolidation at various stages and with different objectives. This book aims to clarify whether it is possible to achieve only cost reduction or also dynamic performance delivery. The author provides an introductory overview and classification of the various virtualization technologies and IT services. Building on this, the book explains and connects the different approaches and factors involved, such as technology, organization, and IT services. It is aimed at CIOs, enterprise architects, and IT managers.
