Budget ProposalDatacenter Virtualization

•What is Virtualization

Virtualization is the ability to utilize one physical server as several different servers.

The users, the network, and even the hardware sees the virtual server as if it were a different physical server.

Why would we want virtualization ?



•Why would we want virtualization

We took the concept of a single mainframe computer and broke it into multiple servers to add redundancy.

Different servers took on specific roles like email, file, print, or accounting to provide greater availability.

But servers are inherently under utilized. They sit and wait for something to do and then do it very fast, then sit and wait again.



•Why would we want virtualization

By virtualizing several servers on a single physical computer we’re able to get more bang for the buck because the server waits less.

If the physical server is capable of doing more and waiting less then we should stack as much work on a single server as possible.

Through virtualization we need fewer physical servers and that saves money.

Server virtualization on a single platform presents risks…

If the server hardware fails then three servers are taken down.

As a result only non-critical applications are currently virtualized

The solution is to virtualize the entire datacenter…
