Virtualization - The Most Impactful Solution to Data Center Power Crisis

Tags:
infrastructure management

Overview VMware virtualization technology can eliminate server sprawl and reduce power and cooling consumption in the data center by converting the physical machines into fully functional virtual machines. Each instance of VMware ESX Server can support more than 100 virtual machines, and the vast majority of the customers are able to run as many as 10 or more applications on a single piece of hardware. According to a recent research study, aggregate electricity use for servers doubled over the period 2000 to 2005 both in the U.S. and worldwide. Almost all of this growth was the result of growth in the number of the least expensive volume servers. Reducing the number of volume servers in data centers through virtualization leads to dramatic savings on power and cooling costs.
