Application Configurations to Be Consolidated Onto One Server

In this example, five applications are being consolidated onto a single system. The target applications have resource requirements that vary, different user populations, and different architectures. Currently, each application exists on a dedicated server that is designed to meet the requirements of the application. The consolidation is done by a user assuming the root role.

The applications and their characteristics are identified in the following table.

Application Description
Characteristics

Database instance for application server
Heavy transaction processing
Application server in test and development environment
GUI-based, with untested code execution
