Virtualization: Benefits of a "Candy Bowl" Strategy

Tags:
virtualization

Overview Companies can dramatically reduce the number of servers deployed by implementing a server virtualization effort. Server virtualization brings all the benefits of the candy bowl strategy while at the same time preserving the isolation and orderliness of a goody bag. Virtualization involves creating multiple "Virtual servers" on one physical server and assigning a certain amount of processing resources and resource priority to each virtual server. Just like a goody bag, each virtual server is a self-contained unit - it has its own operating system, own application software, and own virtual network. But just like the candy bowl, one can combine virtual servers on one physical location and utilize the resources much more effectively.
