</li>
<li>
Hardware virtualization
</li>
<li>
Maximum resource utilization
</li>
<li>
Simplified backup and recovery
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>
Example server consolidation scenario</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>
Example server consolidation process for migrating i5/OS, AIX, Linux, and Windows<SUP>(R)</SUP>
onto the eServer i5 system, including:</strong>
<ul>
<li>
Explanations of new concepts and terminology for the eServer i5 system
</li>
