Enterprise & Datacenter Systems, Design and Integration
The expanding deployment of servers consumes increasing amounts of power and space, and drives up the cost of datacenter operations. Because of this, government and corporate datacenters are looking to improve efficiency and save costs through datacenter containment and consolidation. The technology that is making this possible is called virtualization.
For servers, virtualization allows the creation of multiple virtual machines on the same physical machine. Each virtual machine then has its own virtual hardware (e.g., CPU, memory, disk etc.) and is able to host a discreet operating system. This allows the use of multiple operating system instances and also makes it possible to run different operating systems such as Windows and Linux on the same physical hardware.
Virtualization technology is also being deployed in other datacenter tiers. For example, storage area networks (SAN), virtual local area networks (VLAN), and layer 7 switching are being employed to abstract the physical datacenter resources across multiple applications, centralizing equipment and saving cost.
