Aside from cost savings, what are some big server consolidation benefits?

I’m trying to make a case to my CIO and want to be prepared for all of the questions he might ask. I think going green and cost savings might benefit our company and I read that server consolidation is one way to do it. What are some other benefits from server consolidation?
