Logical Partitioning and Virtual Partitioning are great solutions to cut down on the number of servers in a data center. Computers are becoming extremely powerful and are frequently under-utilized. During the occasions when they are maximized, adding additional resources requires down time. TSG Consulting utilizes LPARs in the IBM System x (Windows/Linux) and IBM System p (Linux/AIX), as well as Capacity on Demand, to allow customers to dynamically reassign resources when required.

TSG Consulting has managed and implemented many successful consolidation projects, combining multiple applications from unique machines onto a single server. The result is decreased maintenance and administration costs for our clients. 

The tools TSG Consulting utilize to perform Server consolidation projects include:

  • VMware
  • Blade Centers
  • VMware P-to-V tools
  • IBM Power Systems (pSeries/iSeries)
  • SAN
  • SVC
  • MRTG
