Product Description
Blade server systems and virtualization are key building blocks for Next Generation Enterprise Data centers Blades offer modular, pre-wired, ultra high-density servers (up to10x traditional servers) with shared components (power, cooling,switches) – reducing complexity and cost, and improving flexibility,availability, manageability, and maintainability Virtualization enables consolidation of physical servers byallowing many virtual servers to run concurrently on one physicalserver – improving system utilization, reducing the total number ofphysical servers, reducing costs, and increasing flexibility This is the first book covering these complementary technologiesand how, together, they provide a strong foundation for the future It examines the history, architectures, features, examples, anduser case studies of blade systems and virtualization, and offersguidance and considerations for how to evaluate and implement solutionsFrom the Back Cover
