Paper Overview
Organizations have many goals in mind when selecting virtualization technology. Depending upon the organization's goal, different layers of virtualization technology present the best solution. Here's a quick review of goals some organizations have for creating a virtualized environment:
? Agility -- Optimize use of systems, deal with a rapidly changing environment, reduce time and complexity of installation
? Availability or reliability -- keeping applications and services online and available in order to avoid the costs of downtime
? Consolidation -- Merging applications or services onto a small number of systems to avoid the costs due to hardware and maintenance of hardware.
? Performance -- Complete tasks more quickly by applying more systems
? Scalability -- Get more work done by applying more systems allowing more work to be done, revenues to be increased and more FreeCell games to be completed in a given unit of time
? Unified management environment -- Manage a number of systems as a single entity to simply management and reduce the costs due to administration and operations
How organizations came to need a consolidation strategy, what virtualization tools are available to address this need and which of those tools might be best will be considered in this paper.
