Hypervisor Virtualization unbundles server hardware from operating systems and enables multiple operating systems to run on a host computer at the same time. It offers a variety of benefits including increased server utilization, consolidation and decreased datacenter costs.
Application Virtualization is the unbundling of applications from the server OS and the underlying hardware.
These virtualization technologies, used in concert offer great value to enterprise IT organizations, they enable administrators to focus on service delivery by abstracting not only Operating Systems but also the application platforms, from associated hardware thus enabling a true decoupling of capacity and dynamic activation of applications to meet changes in demand.
DataSynapse and Hypervisor Enabled Virtualization Value Proposition
The general concept that underlies hypervisor virtualization is the decoupling of physical hardware from operating system to extract greater hardware utilization and flexibility in the use of physical hardware to run various operating systems and applications. This is achieved through unbundling of physical servers into virtual machines, and consolidation of these virtual machines on fewer physical servers than the number of physical servers used prior to virtualization.
Most hypervisor based virtual solutions offer a holistic solution to reduce the number of physical servers and manage the virtual servers as a pool of shared resources. It is not a-typical for a hypervisor virtualized environment to abstract multiple physical servers, create a virtual machine and consolidate these virtual machines into a single physical server.
It’s clear that this approach enables server consolidation and significant cost savings in the data center with rapid ROI, production environments have shied from implementing this approach as a way to consistently meet service levels.
It is understood that hypervisor virtualization quickly enables IT to provision virtual machines to run applications without the need to purchase new servers. In turn, DataSynapse FabricServer enables quick deployment and activation of applications by creating distribution application containers and activating them within a virtual machine in production environments based on changing demand.
DataSynapse understands that business is dynamic and changes constantly. The creation of virtual machines does not necessarily help meet changes in demand. However the combination of DataSynapse FabricServer and Hypervisor based virtualization enables customers to correctly size the virtual server and apply application activation in real-time to meet the changing needs of the business – thus providing the scalability, throughput and metrics needed to consistently meet service levels and changing demand needs.
