Paradigm Virtualization - Server

 

 

Virtualization is a form of partitioning that allows multiple virtual machines, with heterogeneous OSes to run in isolation, side-by-side on the same physical machine. Virtual machines are encapsu-lated into files, making it possible to rapidly save, copy, and provision a virtual machine. Full systems (fully configured applications, operating systems, BIOS and virtual hardware) can now be moved, within seconds, from one physical server to another for zero-downtime maintenance and continuous workload consolidation.

 

Reduce Costs by Consolidating Hardware and Increasing Server Utilization. - By consolidating your server hardware with VMware vSphere, the most robust software suite in the industry for server consolidation, your organization can:

• Increase utilization of existing hardware from 5-15% up to 80%
• Reduce hardware requirements by a 10:1 ratio or better
• Our Professional Services team can help you assess your IT environment to identify consolidation candidates and to calculate the potential savings from using virtualization.

 

Manage Your Virtual Infrastructure from a Single Point of Control. - While most vendors offer only single-point solutions for server virtualization, VMware gives you the power to manage an entire virtual infrastructure from a single point of control. Using the production-proven VMware vSphere, your organization can:

• Accelerate provisioning time by 50-70%
• Manage virtual machines from a central location
• Monitor the performance of virtual machines and their hosts
• These and other benefits have enabled more than 85% of our customers to use VMware virtual machines in production environments for a wide range of applications.

 

Automate your Virtual Infrastructure for Peak Performance. - Deliver levels of performance, scalability and availability that are not possible with a physical infrastructure. Using VMware vCenter Server in combination with our VMware VMotion and VMware DRS (Distributed Resource Scheduler) products, your organization will be able to:

• Avoid planned downtime with live migration of virtual machines
• Enable dynamic policy-based allocation of IT resources with automated load balancing
• Eliminate many repetitive configuration and maintenance tasks

 

 

IBM systems with virtualization can prioritize system resources and allocate them on the fly to the virtual servers needing them most at any given time.

Server virtualization can be very useful for companies seeking to significantly reduce or even eliminate server sprawl, utilize existing server resources more efficiently, improve server availability, assist in disaster recovery and centralize server administration. Even more important, server virtualization technologies are at the forefront in helping businesses in their technology consolidation strategies.
