Server Consolidation through
Virtualization
As
enterprises grow, IT organizations must rapidly add computing capacity—often in
the form of new servers with a variety of operating environments. The resulting
server sprawl is costly in terms of capital and people needed to operate,
manage, and upgrade new servers.
Virtualization eliminates this age-old cycle. It allows to companies leverage their storage, network, and computing resources efficiently. Thus controlling costs and respond faster to new business needs. By consolidating physical systems onto virtual infrastructure, enterprises experience:
| Description | Benefit |
| Higher server utilization | Usually cutting in
half physical server count Save space, cooling, wiring and electricity |
| Lower total cost of ownership of servers | Cut Costs. Enable IT managers to reassign manpower to other projects |
| Improved manageability | Zero-downtime. Hardware maintenance without waiting for maintenance windows |
| Applications provisioned in minutes, not days | Faster to market response |

Virtualization in a nutshell
Virtualization is an abstraction layer that decouples the physical hardware from
the operating system to deliver greater IT resource utilization and flexibility.
Virtualization allows multiple virtual machines, with heterogeneous operating
systems to run in isolation, side-by-side on the same physical machine. Each
virtual machine has its own set of virtual hardware (e.g., RAM, CPU, NIC, etc.)
upon which an operating system and applications are loaded. The operating system
sees a consistent, normalized set of hardware regardless of the actual physical
hardware components. Supported operating systems: Windows i86/SMD64, Linux
i86/AMD64, Solaris i86/AMD64.
