Consolidation is More Than Moving Around Instances
Frankly, when I first started learning about consolidation, I had pretty simple goals. First, slow the rate of SQL Server systems that are added to a corporate SQL Server farm. Second, get a grip on licensing and perhaps, maybe, get a few tools to help me get from A to B. There is SO much more to be gained from consolidation using the right tools. PolyServe’s SQL Server Utility will help you accomplish these things, sure, but they also provide you the backbone tools to fully manage your SQL Server farms, to fully manage the failover, consolidation, movement of instances and so-on. It’s amazing the leverage you can bring to your installation. Get more information here – and see just how much of a difference it can make.
