Virtual data center breaks endless sourcing servers

A common problem for data centers is server application efficiency. The usual solution is not to buy more servers, but the data center needs to increase its flexibility rather than the never-ending procurement server, based on a large number of servers.

Today, businesses are increasingly focused on data centers and are using effective solutions to enhance their overall server application efficiency, and the industry is going through http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13883.html " > Virtualization Technology is well implemented, and when an application sends a request to its server, IT managers only need to move the program to another server, regardless of whether it is offline.

For the traditional mode of increasing the number of equipment to meet the large-scale application of the enterprise, it gives the manufacturer a new direction, and the virtualization technology solves the problem effectively. Effective integration of servers is one of the obvious advantages of virtualization technology. With server virtualization technology, a physical server can be split into multiple virtual servers, each running its own operating system and storage space for a dedicated server.

In addition, through the virtualization technology, the server broke the original one-to-one application service relationship, in today's data center environment, so that the original "one application, one server" application mode to develop in a single physical server running 5 to 10 virtual servers. In this case, the data center can achieve more than 90% utilization rate.

In essence, however, virtualization is a function of enabling operating systems and applications to move away from fixed physical hardware.

Although only 1991–2002 servers use virtualization technology, it is believed that this situation will change quickly. Industry experts predict that about 90% of servers will be virtualized in the next two years. However, its real purpose is to go beyond the simple integration of the server.

In addition, for data centers, virtualization technology is just how to effectively apply it. But new virtualization technologies use include application migrations, high-availability fault-tolerant, virtual desktops, and cloud computing.
