What Is Server Virtualization?

To put it simply, server virtualization is a technique of dividing a server into multiple parts. Each portion of the server is capable of running its own independent operating system while using common underlying hardware for each.

Each of the isolated virtual environments is often referred to as a virtual private network (VPN). The individual virtual environments can also be called emulations, containers, guests, or instances.

Essentially, dividing a server into virtual private networks maximizes the efficiency through a process called autonomic computing. The server collects data from the users and keeps after itself, designating computer resources appropriately to each virtual private network.

The three most popular methods of server virtualization are:

• Virtual machine model
• Paravirtual machine model
• Virtualization at the operating system model

What’s The Point?

The most attractive reason to utilize server virtualization is to consolidate a number of smaller servers into a larger one. Migrating a set of associated mini-servers onto one physical server comes with several cost benefits. The amount spent on maintenance, system usage, hardware utilization, energy and cooling decreases significantly upon completion.

The great thing is that, after migration, no changes to the management of applications or operating systems occur.

Another advantage is the elimination of server sprawl, a condition in which multiple servers that are under-utilized are consuming more space and taking up more resources than required for their workload. Eliminating server sprawl also results in improved server availability.

An added benefit is that centralized server administration allows for the development of a standard virtual server build which is simply replicated. This means the time needed to deploy a new server is significantly decreased.
