Beschreibungen

<ul> <li>Blade server systems and virtualization are key building blocks for Next Generation Enterprise Data centers</li> <li>Blades offer modular, pre-wired, ultra high-density servers (up to 10x traditional servers) with shared components (power, cooling, switches) – reducing complexity and cost, and improving flexibility, availability, manageability, and maintainability</li> <li>Virtualization enables consolidation of physical servers by allowing many virtual servers to run concurrently on one physical server – improving system utilization, reducing the total number of physical servers, reducing costs, and increasing flexibility</li> <li>This is the first book covering these complementary technologies and how, together, they provide a strong foundation for the future</li> <li>It examines the history, architectures, features, examples, and user case studies of blade systems and virtualization, and offers guidance and considerations for how to evaluate and implement solutions</li> </ul>
