12. Consolidate, virtualize and save some green
• Consolidate inefficient workloads and
virtualize to save significant power,
cooling, space, IT operations and
S/W licensing costs.
• Improved utilization and simplified
management for servers
• Power management tools to reduce
energy cost and reclaim trapped
capacity
• Reduce operating expenses or add
more data center capacity to help
accelerate business growth
