Virtualizing High Network I/O Environments

Overview A virtual computing infrastructure allows you to improve the utilization of IT resources, heighten the availability of your mission-critical applications, and reduce your total cost of ownership (TCO). But successfully consolidating server workloads in a virtualized environment requires that your server subsystems (processor, memory, disk, and I/O) be capable of accommodating the additional workload. This Intel white paper examines these requirements and explains how the Intel PRO/1000 family of network adapters meets the advanced performance, flexibility, and reliability needs of enterprises running SWsoft's Virtuozzo server virtualization software.

Open source to go mainstream, says Gartner

However, Gartner argues that at the operating-system level, Linux deployments are showing smaller benefits in total cost of ownership as it is applied to more demanding projects, because of the technical skills required to use it: "Much of the...

Web 2.0 prompts love for open source

He wrote: "Some customers are running mission-critical transactional deployments with over 3TB of data on open-source databases, while others are running very large workloads that support hundreds and thousands of concurrent users.

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.
