Hi All,
I'm looking for a bit of advice around SQL Server infrastructure design. Currently we have around 35 instances of SQL Server installed in our organisation all on separate servers. Most instances have only a couple of database running on them although there are a few which have more. When implementing new applications we are often told by vendors that they require a dedicated SQL Server for their applications to perform well. Going forward I'd like to implement a good quality robust infrastructure for our SQL Servers that would see a reduction in the number of servers and more database per instance. Any advice on this and what other are doing within their organisations would be appreciated.
