Multiple server management

Server consolidation and data center moves can deliver significant benefits ‘ including cost savings, enhanced business continuity, optimized service management, and improved regulatory compliance.

Check out this article, it’s something that I’ve been talking about with colleagues in the industry, there are quite a few large projects migrating and moving servers around the data centers, particularly as a result of merges and acquisitions.

The difference between a successful move and an expensive rollback/outage is not necessarily that complicated, we just need to understand the upstream/downstream feeds to the application, the firewall rules, any ip address or speed changes, what affect this might have to the application, the server and the related systems.
