Measuring Up for Server Virtualization

Tags:
virtualization

Overview Virtualization is hot because there are very real and quantifiable dollar savings to be gained through proper server consolidation. That's not a misprint. Server virtualization is a technological method to consolidate servers. For those with a mainframe background, consider the business benefits of server consolidation mirroring the advantages of logically partitioning the mainframe. This paper presents a lab-based study designed specifically to aid in understanding performance measurements available directly from VMware ESX. This study sheds light on the impact of virtualization on Windows performance counters.

Virtualisation - a CIO's best friend?

Back in May, three-quarters of silicon.com's CIO Jury said virtualisation was a current investment priority, as they looked to consolidate the number of servers they have, to reduce power usage and cut costs.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
