Virtualisation / Consolidated Servers
Traditionally many business need to run software applications on their own separate server. As power costs increase and computer room sizes decrease the ability for an organisation to manage their operating system instances on individual server hardware soon becomes inefficient. Most servers ship with multiple gigabytes of memory and a processor that even at its lowest clock speed will still only run at a tiny percentage of capacity when running a single application.
Server consolidation is an approach to the efficient usage of computer server resources in order to reduce the total number of servers or server locations that an organization requires. The practice developed in response to the problem of server sprawl, a situation in which multiple, under-utilized servers take up more space and consume more resources than can be justified by their workload. These days server consolidation is commonly referred to as virtualisation which is achieved by using Hypervisor technology from vendors such as VMWare and Citrix so the same multi gigabyte server can split its resources and run more than one server operating system instance yet still retain the independence any application requires to run effectively.
