thinkASG has a unique methodology for helping companies identify their optimal consolidation potential by utilizing our own set of processes and tools that expand beyond the vendor’s utilities – which are typically platform specific and myopic in focus. Our consolidation methodology incorporates business unit experts from outside the data center in addition to specialists from multiple information technology practices to ensure that the consolidation effort not only saves money but enhances the capability of your business. Rather than focus on just one virtualization technology or just the server component of consolidation, we view the resources, people and processes in the organization to design solutions that holistically address individual requirements within the multiple organizations of your company.

The result of a thinkASG server consolidation implementation is a solution that addresses more than just a reduction in servers. A thinkASG consolidation deployment addresses business unit needs, company processes, business growth, SLAs, business continuity, and IT infrastructure optimization that benefits your overall company in addition to reducing costs for maintenance, software licenses and data center resources.
