<title><![CDATA[Server Consolidation With Microsoft SQL Server on HP Integrity Servers: A Financial Examination of Total Cost of Ownership]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://whitepapers.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=1022049]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[With the introduction of Intel's latest 64 bit multi-core Itanium II processors the HP Integrity line of servers now rival and even exceed the scalability and performance of high end Unix/RISC enterprise systems. This means that customers can easily upgrade to the more scalable Integrity systems without costly migrations to alternative architectures. In addition, the highly reliable and more powerful HP Integrity servers are an excellent platform for consolidating the historical sprawl of SQL Server implementations. With their greater processing capacity and support for Microsoft Virtual Server Environments customers can safely run many instances of SQL Server on a single HP Integrity server. Although server consolidation enables organizations to improve resource utilization, much of the true value comes from increasing IT efficiency, improving service levels and enhancing flexibility.]]></description>
