Virtualization
Virtualization
allows enterprises to make better use of their compute
resources. It complements Grid Computing
by bringing about more dynamic networks and resources.
This seminar is part of an on-going series on Virtualization.
Watch this space for more updates on virtualization technologies. |
Abstract
for "Optimal Resource Management - Zones & Containers"
Today, we are familiar with multi-threaded
applications running on time-sharing SMP multi-core system.
In the near future, Sun will release Chip-Multi Threading
(CMT)-based systems that are capable of 8-cores with 4 hardware
threads each in a single socket. With such advances in hardware
technology, processing power of servers has increased dramatically
and it has become more crucial to be able to maximize the
utilization of the computing resources.
Solaris 10 (S10) was released for general availability in
March 2005. Sun spent more than 3 years developing this operating
system. One of the key design centre of Solaris 10 is Optimal
Resource Utilization, with which Sun introduced hardware
virtualization technology (zones) tightly integrated with
resource management.
This seminar aims to introduce the participants the Solaris
10 zones technology, resource management and other relevant
features in Solaris 10, developed to achieve optimal utilization
of computing resources.

Abstract
for "Virtual Infrastructure - The Next Generation
Data Center"
Companies
today are demanding more from their IT organizations, requiring
more services with more features and faster response times,
to meet ever increasing demands and maintain competitive
advantage.
Learn how Virtual Infrastructure – the combination
of server, storage and networking virtualization technologies —as
a fundamental IT strategy helps organizations to:
•
Increase Intel Server utilization rates to 60-80% from
today's 5-15%
•
Reduce provisioning times for new applications from days
to minutes
•
Response times for change requests measured in minutes
•
Perform hardware maintenance without waiting for maintenance
windows
