Server Consolidation: AlphaServer Customer Example

Customer started with (2) 8400 (6 CPU, 4GB), (2) 2100, (6) AS600 with HSZ-based storage; OpenVMS

Replaced with (2) GS160 (8 CPU -- partitioned, 32GB) with FibreChannel storage; OpenVMS

U.S. Government Agency Application run time reduced from 24

hours to 6. One task reduced from 1.5 hours to 20

minutes. Customer believes they can reduce

run times by another third! Sorts running 6x faster. Still room for even more

optimizations!

Is consolidation a strategy for my business?

Are your computing assets older than 38 months? Do you have multiple datacenters? Does your Server investment support multiple

storage architectures? Does your company operate in a mature industry? Really!! How much of your time or your staff do you

spend on operational issues? Have you heard the term “server sprawl”? Is your storage growing at 35%+ per year?
