Lexington, MA, October 17, 2006– BladeLogic,
Inc., the leading provider of next-generation data center automation
software, announced today that it will host a webinar on Thursday,
October 19th, 2006 at 11:30 a.m. (ET) entitled, “Effectively
Managing Server Consolidation and Data Center Relocation Projects.”
The presenters will include Christopher McDaniel, Director of
IT Operations, Rearden Commerce, and Andi Mann, Senior Analyst,
Enterprise Management Associates.
With the advent of virtualization, cost control initiatives
and today’s distributed computing paradigm, more and more
IT organizations have undertaken server consolidation and/or
data center relocation initiatives in order to keep pace with
increasing IT and business demands. By doing so, these organizations
have been able to:
• Significantly expand and upgrade their data center
server and application infrastructure
• Decrease the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of their
IT infrastructure by reducing staff and hardware costs through
server consolidation
• Identify means to consolidate server infrastructure
using virtualization to control the number of servers
• Improve business continuity to ensure data center replication
capabilities
• Quickly integrate server and application infrastructures
due to key business events such as mergers/acquisitions, expansions,
business downturn and new partners
In this webinar, McDaniel and Mann will discuss some of the
challenges IT organizations face with data center relocation
and server consolidation from configuration management and compliance
assurance perspectives, such as:
• How to ensure that the relocated server/application
infrastructure is compliant with the baselines used during the
move or relocation
• Best practices for Logical, Physical and Rationalized
server consolidation
• If the driver for the move or relocation is business
continuity, how to ensure continuous compliance between primary
and secondary sites
• How to integrate server/application infrastructures
across data centers if consolidation is a driver for the move
or relocation
• How to seamlessly migrate the necessary IT controls
to ensure compliance across security, operational and regulatory
requirements
