Enabling Customer Choice: Sun Mainstreams Server VirtualisationEnabling Customer Choice: Sun Mainstreams Server Virtualisation

Overview

The rapid spread of software-based server virtualisation on x86 platforms over the past few years is making virtualisation an important solution for hardware resource sharing and server consolidation.

As virtualisation is being used more and more to increase utilisation within production workloads, server vendors are responding with platforms, management technologies, and solutions that incorporate and leverage the underlying virtualisation technologies.

This whitepaper shows how Sun Microsystems is taking a three-step approach to bringing more business benefits of deploying virtualisation to enterprises that use x86 servers.
