An Introduction to OS Server Virtualization and a New Approach to Server Consolidation

Overview Virtualization and automation technology is a major advance in IT infrastructure management. By leveraging the capability to abstract software and data from hardware and treat hardware as a pool of resources, virtualization and automation technology:

  • Reduces the complexity and cost of IT infrastructures
  • Provides users with better levels of service
  • Increases IT and business flexibility
This SWsoft white paper discusses these and other advantages of server virtualization and explains how Virtuozzo, its flagship virtualization solution, allows enterprises to increase manageability and service levels while dramatically reducing their total cost of ownership (TCO).
