Storage Administrators are looking to consolidate their hardware and software resources in order to
reduce power consumption and hardware/software maintenance. One example of this is the
replacement of individual application servers with blade servers. Another example is the use of virtual
server technology such as VMware ESX to replace several individual application servers with a single
high-powered VMware server, where each original application server runs on a virtual machine on
the physical VMware server.
