Poly Serve

"PolyServe's Database Consolidation solutions represent the next wave of server consolidation. The first wave of consolidation was focused on reducing server footprints. However, this type of consolidation did nothing to improve system administration as the number of operating system images and database instances remained unchanged. Furthermore, application availability was actually worse because a hardware failure in one server effected the uptime of multiple applications.

PolyServe is leading the next wave of server consolidation — delivering real consolidation with real availability. Not only does PolyServe allows you to consolidate hardware onto fewer, less expensive servers and storage, but also reduces the number of operating systems that need to be administered. A PolyServe shared data cluster provides industry-leading high availability with speedy failover times. PolyServe allows you to manage your shared resources at higher utilization rates because applications can be dynamically assigned with a single click to processing and storage capacity based on demand.

Customers consolidating database instances onto a PolyServe shared data cluster have seen a 50% increase in server utilization and a 30% increase in storage utilization. Consolidation projects with PolyServe have provided a 70% savings in annual expenses through reduction in hardware maintenance fees and time required to manage."
