- From the perspective of physical server consolidations, when servers spread across multiple branch and remote offices are gathered into a central data center, this simplification process provides ROI in several ways. One, the configuration control, restriction of server access.
- Reduce complexity and enable greater standardization of hardware purchases, which lowers costs.
- Increased security of the move are important.
- The costs of moves, add-ins, and changes are reduced, as well as the costs of travel time and maintenance.
- Migrating legacy operating systems to a newer version via rehosting brings similar ROI benefits when it comes to server consolidation.

- Cheaper than similar servers from other vendors, e.g. blade platforms.
- Better service - Dell's business warranty is one of the best on the market.
- Extensibility allowed us to upgrade the server instead of buying an additional one when we needed to increase capacity a bit.

- Positive impact -- our entire company software infrastructure runs on these servers. They have paid for themselves over and over in the years we have had them.
- Positive ROI -- they are still running and still running VERY WELL.
- Negative ROI -- I'd say it took the full payoff period before we saw any ROI at all. The initial outlay was rather extensive, not only to buy the hardware, but to have the IT people install and configure it.
