Abstract
The objectives of datacenter consolidation are cost reduction and superior services. A datacenter consolidation plan includes minimizing investments in IT infrastructure and buildings and reducing power consumption related to cooling. Such a process requires scalable planning and implementation. Virtualization is the most popular and cost-effective technology for datacenter consolidation. In this article, the author runs a cost-benefit analysis of virtualization and datacenter consolidation using the Global Virtual datacenter online calculator and VMware's ROI CO ((for) return on investment/total cost of ownership) calculator version 3.0.
