Xen: Enterprise Grade Open Source Virtualization: Inside Xen 3.0 - A XenSource White Paper

Tags:
infrastructure management

Overview Virtualization has become a key requirement for the enterprise. This results from an urgent need to focus on reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for enterprise computing infrastructure. In spite of - or indeed because of - the widespread adoption of relatively cheap, industry standard x86-based servers, enterprises have seen costs and complexity escalate rapidly. In addition to the capital expenditures to purchase them, each server in the data center costs an enterprise about an additional $10,000 per year to run, with costs including provisioning, maintenance, administration, power, real-estate, and hardware and software licenses.
