Server Consolidation

• What does this mean?
• An effort to bring all web sites and applications
  to the same operating system version and Oracle
  database versions.
  
• After testing, sites and applications on older
  versions will be migrated to the more current
  environment.
  
• This does not mean we are changing your look and
  feel.
