Once Inventory and
Utilization have occurred, you can use the data and the Server
Consolidation Application (SCON) Wizard to accurately
forecast resource utilization between Hosts. SCON
provides cross-platform support with the ability to analyze
potential consolidation across operating system versions and the
same or different platforms between different server configurations.
SCON is a server
consolidation analysis, planning, and design tool and uses
information from data collection and utilization to size targets
servers and select existing servers for consolidation
SCON automates a
great deal of the effort and eliminates much of the uncertainty in
analyzing, planning, and designing configurations for consolidating
servers to reduce costs and resources, such as man-hours, hardware,
maintenance, and replication.
Resources
can be categorized into Groups for ease in maintenance of
large networks. You can configure user-defined fields to track data
not hard coded into your hardware, such as where the server was
purchased and how much it cost.
