چکیده
Server Virtualization continues to be one of the hottest topics of 2006. Join our quest for enlightenment as we explore the performance data of a large enterprise environment. We’ll travel through a major consolidation effort, review some of the basic methodology and difficulties of the migration, then look closely at data captured from VMware ESX, its virtual machines and Windows servers seeking correlations between activity levels, response times and other key measurements both before and after virtualization. When our quest for enlightenment is complete, we’ll provide recommendations to aid in your virtualization endeavors.
