Automation Technology for Virtualized Systems

Tags:
server consolidation

Overview There has been a recent trend toward consolidating burgeoning systems onto blade servers in order to optimize IT infrastructures, maximize system investment efficiency, and reduce server power consumption. This trend heightens the demand to increase the efficiency of system integration and operation. Moreover, in line with the increased performance of multi-core CPUs and advances made in virtualization technology, more systems are being consolidated on blade servers. This consolidation entails making configuration changes while balancing overall system resources and maintaining stable operation.
