Virtuozzo OS Server Virtualization: Server Consolidation and OS Consolidation
Application and IT managers have become accustomed to dedicating a physical server to each application to ensure that there are no application conflicts and that there is sufficient room for growth. With today’s high powered servers the single application approach leads to extremely low utilization rates, and hardware is only a small subset of the total cost of server ownership and this is why server consolidation is becoming so important. Consolidation of the hardware has historically been the first step in consolidation projects. Parallels Virtuozzo Containers takes consolidation a step further by consolidating OSs for easy management and reducing costs and complexity while improving service levels.
Virtuozzo provides full isolation between applications and its lean architecture allows a high server density. The unique Virtuozzo Containers architecture further accelerates the cost savings by reducing software licensing and support costs and through extensive management tools that help automate server management tasks.
