Virtualization Journey Challenges And Opportunities By Sr Balasubramanian

3. Virtualization allows a group of inefficient servers to be replaced with a fewer number of machines.

5. Sub-optimal utilization of servers

6. Problems of managing an army of servers

8. Minimum physical space requirement

9. Better utilization of hardware resources

10. Less power consumption

11. Less maintenance overhead of IT

12. Provision for resources on demand

13. Patch management and upgrade become easier

14. Disaster recover planning (DRP) become easier

16. Arrange for adequate and appropriate hardware, capacity planning

17. To evaluate and select partner to implement, configure and activate

18. Take care of interface with storage, backup devices etc

20. Performance management

21. Allocation and reallocation of resources

23. Sharing experience on Consolidation Tower Model One Physical server Blade Servers Multiple thin servers in one Physical server Resulting reduction of Power and space in datacenter

24. Sharing experience on Server Consolidation Servers Consolidation Servers are placed in data center in Head Office to centrally host applications Data center has close to 80 servers After using ‘Virtualization’, Number of servers reduced to 36 boxes (Blades)

25. Sharing of Datacenter after Virtualization
