Don't Wait Consolidate
(with Per Andersen)

Does SQL Servers suddently appears all over your organization and are you thinking about consolidating?

More and more are talking about consolidation and especially to virtualize, but beware it can become a very expensive experience in licenses to Microsoft.

I will try to give my recipe on how to consolidate your SQL Server environment.
- Do you know all your servers?
- Do you know the amount of resources they use?
- Are you in control of versions?
- Are you in control of access to the databases?
- Are you in control of the developers?


Per Andersen from the insurance agency IF, will give a brief description of how they have consolidated nearly 180 SQL Servers to 20 in one year
