Beschreibung
* Blade server systems and virtualization are key building blocksfor Next Generation Enterprise Data centers
* Blades offer modular, pre-wired, ultra high-density servers (upto 10x traditional servers) with shared components (power, cooling,switches) - reducing complexity and cost, and improvingflexibility, availability, manageability, and maintainability
* Virtualization enables consolidation of physical servers byallowing many virtual servers to run concurrently on one physicalserver - improving system utilization, reducing the totalnumber of physical servers, reducing costs, and increasingflexibility
* This is the first book covering these complementarytechnologies and how, together, they provide a strong foundationfor the future
* It examines the history, architectures, features, examples, anduser case studies of blade systems and virtualization, and offersguidance and considerations for how to evaluate and implementsolutions
