I was wondering: suppose you have 1 high performance server, loads of mem and storage at will. Would it be advisable to 'merge' several sql servers into 1 performant server, thus get many db's on 1 server? Wouldn't this become an administration nightmare? This way all performance & optimizing jobs will collide at night time when production is down. There will be a shortage of nighttime to do scheduled jobs on all those db's on 1 server, not?

i advise not to just dump databases into a server

make out a category for "merging", also take note of the resources those DBs will be needing, I believe they call that capacity planning
