Press Release

CA WORLD, LAS VEGAS NV November 9, 2005 - At the CA World 2005 event in Las Vegas next week, DYS Analytics, Inc., whose innovative products and services manage today's top messaging platforms, will present an analysis of how organizations have successfully - and in some cases, not so successfully - conducted server consolidation projects. Using these case studies as examples, DYS will outline the top five steps necessary for consolidation success.

Server consolidations are a popular strategy for improving efficiency and cost-savings, but they can dramatically increase WAN network traffic and demands on the consolidated servers. Generally, platform vendors' load estimators only offer generic answers which typically greatly miscalculate WAN traffic and server storage/routing requirements. Actual load increases and decreases must be accurately determined and taken into account or disaster awaits in the form of email outages, longer user waiting times and increased IT time and costs.

During an in-depth session on Wednesday November 16, DYS' Dr. David Yavin will outline the critical risks and costs of a server consolidation. He will explain the two major consolidation methodologies being used today and the types of IT networks in which they are implemented. He will discuss how a consolidation will impact the infrastructure, what likely cost-savings will result, how to keep a network stable during and after the consolidation and finally how to validate consolidation success. Giving specific guidelines based on actual engagements, Dr. Yavin will conclude with five key steps to ensuring a successful effort.
