An Introduction to OS Server Virtualization and a New Approach to Server Consolidation

Overview Virtualization and automation technology is a major advance in IT infrastructure management. By leveraging the capability to abstract software and data from hardware and treat hardware as a pool of resources, virtualization and automation technology:

Provides users with better levels of service
Increases IT and business flexibility

This SWsoft white paper discusses these and other advantages of server virtualization and explains how Virtuozzo, its flagship virtualization solution, allows enterprises to increase manageability and service levels while dramatically reducing their total cost of ownership (TCO).
