Today, the hottest technology in server
management is virtualization. Server virtualization permits a
“host” system to allow a number of “guest” systems to run on the same
piece of server hardware using the same or separate disk drives
While the
technology is not new -- mainframes have done this for generations -- it
is being used to reduce server "bloat" and to drive down operating
and maintenance costs. Additional benefits of virtualization include
easy server creation and the ability to "clone" servers.
Server Virtualization can mean fewer servers and lower energy costs
Every time you add another server to your computer room you increase
your operating costs. Many computer rooms have a number of single
purpose servers that are idle most of the time. These idle servers are
burning CPU cycles that are using a lot of electricity to run and to
keep cool. There is something you can do about it.
