As the performance of processors, memory, and storage devices continues to improve, server virtualization has become an inevitable application trend. So what should users consider first when preparing for server virtualization? This must start with the "core" of the server, because just like humans, only with a strong "heart" can people be competent for a variety of jobs.
Many people have always regarded virtualization as a mysterious technology and think that virtualization technology is only required for large application environments. Actually? Virtualization is not limited to large and medium-sized network environments. Even a small network environment, virtualization can simplify management and reduce costs.
If a technology can expand the computing environment at will, it must be virtualized. By running multiple virtual servers on one physical server, you can reduce operating costs and make your business more efficient. Regardless of whether the enterprise has two or two thousand servers, users can benefit from Virtualization in different ways. The better news is that it is not difficult and cheap to achieve this.
Even in a small infrastructure, application virtualization can simplify management and reduce costs. The cost is reduced by reducing the number of physical servers, reducing energy consumption and cooling equipment, and can effectively reduce the spread of servers. When there are new commercial applications, enterprises do not need to purchase new hardware. Instead, they only need to add new virtual servers.
If an enterprise has only one server, virtualization will not save much. However, if an enterprise has more than two servers or has plans to expand the scale at any time, application virtualization can bring a different experience.
Virtualization can make the data center no longer crowded
It is difficult to purchase non-multi-core servers, but many small enterprises do not need high performance. purchasing expensive servers to process simple tasks is a waste of energy, it also emits more heat. However, multi-core servers are more meaningful for virtualization because they can host more virtual machines.
