I am going to have an opportunity (from the role of Linux Sysadmin) to work on optimizing a corporate server network that has a lot of different application servers from LAMP stacks to JBOSS to IIS based ASP/.NET systems of all sorts. I am interested to hear how you would approach evaluating and consolidating a network in a situation like this where you are walking in cold? What are some of your go-to techniques?
