Databases for Multi Time Zone

Question

We got two different SQL Server which are running SQL Server 2008 R2 and soon we are upgrading to one SQL Server 2012. Both are running in different time zone
I been given a task that whether is it possible to publish databases on One Server with different Time Zone( just to reduce the cost).
we got  1000+ SP's which uses Getdate() and GET date UTC function. 
My Question is that, is it possible to publish databases on a single server with multi Time zone and if yes then how do i manage those. 
Thanks

Hi,
Agree with the previous comments. The workaround is to use SWITCHOFFSET() function to calculate the time based on a time zone offset.
The following example uses SWITCHOFFSET to display a different time zone offset than the value stored in the database.
CREATE TABLE dbo.test
    ColDatetimeoffset datetimeoffset
GO
INSERT INTO dbo.test
VALUES ('1998-09-20 7:45:50.71345 -5:00');
GO
SELECT SWITCHOFFSET (ColDatetimeoffset, '-08:00')
FROM dbo.test;
GO
--Returns: 1998-09-20 04:45:50.7134500 -08:00
SELECT ColDatetimeoffset
FROM dbo.test;
--Returns: 1998-09-20 07:45:50.7134500 -05:00
