Server Consolidation White Papers
Server Consolidation and Virtualization
Overview Virtualization is a technique through which hardware resources viz. processors, storage, I/O and network on one or more machines can be transformed through hardware/software partitioning, time sharing and simulation/emulation into multiple execution environments, each of which can act as a complete system. Enterprises are now looking for ways to improve the average utilization of their servers, reduce maintenance cost and also retain the Quality of Service (QoS). Consolidating multiple applications on a single physical server can solve issues related to lower utilization, however applications won't be isolated sufficiently to address the security, quality of service, fault tolerance and application incompatibility issues. Virtualization is the only technology currently available that makes a logical server consolidation possible without compromising on any of the desired features.
