A first data set ( 1008 ) indicative of characteristics of a first computing device such as a server is compared and analyzed against a second data set ( 1012 ) indicative of characteristics of a second computing device. Computer-readable instructions operate on the data sets and are capable of determining at least one characteristic in the first data set that is different from a substantially similar characteristic in the second data set. A visual depiction ( 1004 ) on an output device ( 1000 ) provides an indication of the at least one difference so that a user can easily make a consolidation analysis. Preferably, the first and second data sets are stored in a relational database for analysis and the characteristic are compared by way of SQL queries on the relational database. |
