10. The Fundamentals of Virtualization Transparent sharing of resources Memory, CPU, Network, Disk Hardware is decoupledfrom operating system Underlying hardware becomesa pool of resources
11. The Fundamentals of Virtualization Live Migration Virtual servers can be moved between physical hardware while running Allows for maintenance on hardware without downtime
12. The Fundamentals of Virtualization Management Single point of management for all of your virtual machines Allows for building of custom templates for rapid deployment Snapshotting technologies allow for block level rollbacks in event of failure
13. The Fundamentals of Virtualization High Availability Virtual Servers can be set to boot on alternate server in event of hardware failure Two instances of same virtual server can be running on multiple hosts
15. The Fundamentals of Virtualization Server Sprawl On average, physical servers run between 5-20% utilization. The power, space, and cooling costs can’t justify the servers workload.
16. The Fundamentals of Virtualization How to mitigate Server Sprawl? Server Consolidation Host multiple operating systems and environments on single piece of hardware.
17. The Fundamentals of Virtualization Consolidation Ratios Consolidation ratios for physical to virtual machine migrations can range from 10:1 up to 30-40:1.
18. The Fundamentals of Virtualization Significant Cost Savings Power Cooling Space Hardware costs for new servers Operational efficiency
19. The Fundamentals of Virtualization Server Downtime Keep your organization running optimally leveraging the features of virtualization.
