Virtualizing IT Infrastructure Servers
Servers running IT infrastructure applications represent the majority of server sprawl.
These servers are prime candidates for virtualization and consolidation because of their typically low utilization, as well as their combination of low CPU and medium I/O requirements.
Applications on this type of server include file and print server, directory infrastructure, web servers, firewalls, NAT/ DHCP servers and other similar applications.
Although most IT infrastructure servers are only utilized at 10-15%, they often host dedicated, separate platforms for each of these applications, due to architectural, security, and compatibility issues.
Managing, patching, and securing these servers consumes valuable IT staff time. In addition, proliferation of physical servers drives operational costs for facilities, power, and cooling.
Virtualization allows enterprises to realize:- A consolidation ratio of 4 workloads per CPU or higher
- Lower capital and operational costs
- Dramatic improvements in server management, including adds, moves, and changes, provisioning, and re-purposing
- A more robust and disaster-resistant infrastructure
