In-depth planning for the deployment of the Linux servers into your production environment
Through normal growth and acquisitions, many IT executives find themselves in the midst of complicated, diverse server environments with unused capacity that is not sharable across business units. These executives often desire to take advantage of the substantial cost savings, both from the physical consolidation of servers onto a smaller number of platforms as well as from implementing Linux enterprise operating systems on those platforms. However, they are often constrained by the lack of available, trained, in-house Linux resources.
IBM Implementation Services for Linux Server Consolidation is designed to quickly and reliably plan, design, install and configure the consolidation of servers onto Linux platforms so that companies can realize the cost of benefits of Linux earlier and with a high degree of confidence in the relability of the consolidated environment.
