Lots of principle now pushing Virtualization. Now, we would like to share why we mention please be patient and wait for Windows 2008 virtualization.
First of all, do you know that Virtualization has been around in computing since '60s? if you are old enough like me, you will know mainframe and each of the users will have one virtual machine.
This Changed in '80s, thanks to Personal Computer. Same thing to server side, scaling out is the trend rather than scale up. mainframe will have only one machine, isnt it? thats why some of the time, most of our "old like me" customer will always ask "Why we need to buy so many boxes??, one is enough."
Scalling out become an issue for enterprise customer- so many servers to take care of, backup and restore is an issue, hiring right people to take care even worst.
The first thing most of the tech guys will look for Server Consolidation. Lets imagine, having a DHCP server, which only will be used every morning, when users boot up thier machine and afterthat, only utilise less than 10% of the resources. Some of you might say, can we put in File server, DNS, and even some AD!At the end, can we monitor, plan and knowing the server refresh cyle and bottleneck? Or what if you want to down the server for maintenance?
In next part, we will want to share the different between other party virtualization and the difference between Windows 2008 virtualization.
Happy reading.
