Tens to hundreds of instances of SQL Server are deployed on dedicated servers. Server utilization rates lurk in the low teens. Why? Because shared servers complicate capacity planning and responding to unplanned capacity needs takes too long. SQL Server is also deployed on dedicated servers because this limits the impact of server failures to single instances. For instances requiring high availability, active-passive clusters further decrease server utilization rates and drive up the cost of high availability to a point where many instances run unprotected. These factors have caused SQL Server sprawl, whereby more than twice as many servers than required are being purchased and managed to meet current application requirements.
