Implications of Virtualization for Image Deployment

Overview The concept of software image deployment was initially developed to facilitate the distribution and installation of images on physical servers, while taking into consideration variations in server hardware and software configurations. Virtualization holds considerable implications for organizations currently using conventional deployment processes because virtualization can enable image deployment regardless of the hardware variations of the target servers. This paper provides an overview of conventional image deployment processes and discusses how virtualization concepts and benefits can enhance image deployment in today's data center.

Quocirca's Straight Talking: A game of two halves

The idea is that physical images are not actually held - instead, a model or a description of an image is held. The problem is you soon end up with many images of different applications and different application versions.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
