The Costs of Server Sprawl

Server sprawl is becoming an increasingly costly problem, because server spending doesn't stop with the hardware itself. Maintenance costs, energy usage, systems management software, dedicated floor space and help desk calls are the hidden costs behind each server in your IT infrastructure.

The more servers you add, the more complicated your system becomes – making it even trickier to keep track of your infrastructure and maintain virus protection and security software.
