Lesson 130.3 Server-Side Virtualization

Server-side virtualization involves creating multiple virtual servers on a single physical server using a hypervisor, enhancing resource utilization and management. It offers benefits such as cost savings, improved agility, and simplified disaster recovery, making it essential in data centers and cloud environments. Key requirements include sufficient hardware resources and the use of Type 1 Bare-Metal Hypervisors like VMware ESXi.

Server-Side Virtualization

Objectives

❏ Describe What Server side Virtualization Is?


❏ Explain the benefits of using Server-Side
Virtualization.
❏ Describe current uses for Server side
Virtualization?
Introduction
Server-side virtualization is the process of creating multiple virtual servers, running on a single physical
server, using a hypervisor or virtualization software.

This technology allows for the efficient utilization of server resources by partitioning the physical server
into isolated virtual machines (VMs).

Each VM operates as an independent entity, with its own operating system and applications, effectively
decoupling the hardware from the software.

Server-side virtualization offers numerous benefits, such as improved resource utilization, cost savings
through consolidation, easier management and scalability, enhanced disaster recovery options, and the
ability to run multiple different operating systems and applications on the same physical server.

This approach has become integral in data centers and cloud computing environments, providing a
flexible and efficient solution for delivering a wide range of services to end-users while optimizing
hardware utilization and maintenance efforts.

Server-Side Virtualization Requirements
Many of the servers we access today are Virtualized.
❏ They are considered Type 1 Bare-Metal Hypervisors because:
❏ They are installed without a host operating system.
❏ There is no other software between them and the hardware (just bare
metal).
Server-Side Virtualization Requirements (continued)
❏ VMware ESXi is a free Type-1 Hypervisor from VMware.
❏ Management is handled through a Web interface.
❏ It is small in size. Its only job is to host virtual machines.
❏ VMs need different amounts of resources.
❏ VMs are able to distribute across available hosts to minimize
unused resources.

What do you think are some benefits of
using Server Virtualization?

Name a few benefits.


Server Virtualization Benefits
❏ Reduces the number of physical servers with the ability to
consolidate servers:
❏ This saves time and money, while making you more efficient.
❏ There is greater business agility with faster server deployment.
❏ This maximizes the Return On Investment (ROI) on data center
hardware. You are able to do more with less.
Server Virtualization Benefits (continued)
❏ Reduces the Number of Physical Servers with the ability to
consolidate servers (continued).
❏ This provides simplified disaster recovery and management.
❏ There is greater elasticity, as this can serve as the first step to
the cloud.
Server Consolidation
with VMware.
Server Virtualization Benefits (continued)
❏ Reduces the number of Server Admins.
❏ Reduces power consumption with advanced Virtualization features.
Server Virtualization Saves Admins By:
❏ Enables new servers to be added as needed.
❏ Reduces the maintenance time.
❏ Provides high availability.
❏ Provides disaster Recovery.
❏ Includes automatic Load Balancing.
❏ Allows VMs to move from one server to another.
