IBM Virtualization Engine - Server Virtualization Basics
Enterprise level organizations have been using server virtualization for over 15 years now. The technology not only allows your organization’s IT infrastructure to run with less down time and can be used as a base for back up and disaster recovery, it also lowers your cost of IT hardware and more importantly managing that hardware.
For a business owner, in particular one that is not technical, having server virtualization explained is not always easy. After all, it is somewhat of a revolutionary way of setting up your IT Infrastructure. In this 3 part post on the basics of server virtualization, I hope to go over 3 items that will give you a better understanding of the technology
*Server Virtualization Basics– In this section I hope to function as a “Server Virtualization for Dummies”. I won’t get very technical, but hope you will walk away with enough understanding to interpret what that IT guy you have on staff or your outsourced managed services IT guy is talking about when he talks about server virtualization or server virtualization software.
*Types of Server Virtualization-There are a few vendors that offer different server virtualization platforms (or server virtualization software) each has some benefits for your business. Why invest with one server virtualization software vs the other is what I will discuss there.
*Process for implementing server virtualization-When your internal IT manager or managed services provider suggests your organization virtualizes, having server virtualization explained might not be enough. You (and they) should put together a process to this use of server virtualization software. I have some ideas around putting that process together I’d like to share that very well may save you a lot of time money and effort.
