Server Consolidation:
LPAR

LPAR (Logical Partitioning) allows workloads from multiple systems to be consolidated to a single machine, thus significantly cutting IT costs while minimizing risk. LPAR involves a single system’s resources (processors, memory, etc.) being divided to create multiple independent systems within the same system. The end result of this partition is the system being “separated” into a primary partition and one or more secondary partitions. Each partition can then be used for different purposes, such as database operation or to separate test and production environments, and can communicate with the other partitions as if they were each in a separate machine.

This type of server consolidation provides a flexible and granular allocation of system resources. After a partition, the redesigned system has flexibility in allocating interactive performance and high-speed internal communications between partitions.

Optimus Solutions builds LPAR solutions using the LVT (LPAR Validation Tool), which accommodates all features as well as internal and external disk. Optimus can design and implement this type of consolidation on any server model as well as perform migration services from older technology

With LPAR, the range of possible business scenarios is endless.
