Check out blade network servers

Blade servers are a growing technology. Blade servers are comprised of a low density enclosure that provides cooling, power, networking and other components to multiple servers. Each server is housed on a blade that's approximately the size of a hard drive. Because of their high entry prices and configuration complexity, blade servers aren't right for every business. However, for companies with several servers, they can help to save space, energy, technical resources and money.

Besides blades, advanced server technologies and virtualization software are other ways to consolidate space and power. Virtualization software and other technology allows you to run multiple dedicated servers on a single server.
