Server sprawl is an inevitable challenge for IT administrators as data centers grow. You might never fully eliminate sprawl, but you can keep costs low by controlling and planning for it. Maintaining more servers than your organization normally uses might seem like a good way to prepare for large workloads or spikes in demand, but this practice often leads to overprovisioning resources and low server utilization rates. Data centers suffering from server sprawl waste money on cooling and energy as underutilized servers take up space and consume resources. By the time server sprawl becomes a problem, it's often difficult to reverse. Luckily, it's not impossible, and you can also take steps to prevent server sprawl from getting out of control before it becomes an issue.
