VMware vSphere 5.1. Vmware Virtual Infrastructure - IT Tool Box Blog. What is Virtualization? A single most effective way to reduce IT expenses while boosting efficiency and agility—not just for large enterprises, but for small and midsize businesses too. VMware virtualization lets you: Run multiple operating systems and applications on a single computer.
Here is a great overview video on Virtualization created by VMware Virtualzation enables organizations to run more workload on single server by consolidating the environment so the your application run on virtual machines. Reduction of physical machines can be realized by converting physical machine to virtual machine and consolidating the converted machines onto a single host. No need to wait for the hardware to for new server deployment. Physical and Virtual Architecture *Illustration above- difference between a virtualized and non virtualized host, Traditional architecture, the operating system interfaces directly with the installed hardware. Why Use Virtual Machine? Physical and Virtual Network VLANs. 1. 2015 Year of the Whale and other disruptive trends in IT – thomason.io.
The year 2014 was as a very exciting period in cloud computing as several emerging technologies and trends began to shape the future of IT. In late 2014 the overarching trend disrupting technology and industries everywhere is still the growth of software. Software is now nearly ubiquitous due to the proliferation of general purpose processing power, low-cost personal computing devices, and the advent of universal connectivity through the Internet. The biggest challenge still facing developers and IT operations teams today is the ability to build and scale complex distributed systems, and to continuously evolve those systems in response to rapidly changing customer and market needs. Three major trends that are taking shape to meet this challenge are containerization, hybrid cloud, and converged infrastructure: 2015 is Year of the Whale Remember way back when the world tried to pretend that VMWare was no big deal?
Docker disrupts Operating Systems Docker disrupts Platform as a Service. Magic Quadrant for x86 Server Virtualization Infrastructure. 14 July 2015 ID:G00268538 Analyst(s): Thomas J. Bittman, Philip Dawson, Michael Warrilow About 75% of x86 server workloads are virtualized, but virtualization technologies are becoming more lightweight, supporting more workloads and agile development.
Price, cloud interoperability and specific use cases are driving enterprises to deploy multiple virtualization technologies. Market Definition/Description The x86 server virtualization infrastructure market is defined by organizations that are looking for solutions to virtualize applications from their x86 server hardware or OSs, reducing underutilized server hardware and associated hardware costs and increasing agility in delivering the server capacity that applications need. Solutions for this market leverage: Magic Quadrant Figure 1. Source: Gartner (July 2015) Vendor Strengths and Cautions Citrix In desktop virtualization, XenApp and XenDesktop are widely used, but VMware vSphere continues to be more broadly used as the underlying hypervisor. VMware and Microsoft are the top virtualization leaders, according to Gartner. Gartner has released its Magic Quadrant report on x86 server virtualization infrastructure for 2015. VMware and Microsoft retained their spots in the top right quadrant, which Gartner reserves for the leaders.
Vendors that made it into the niche players quadrant are Citrix, Huawei, Odin, Oracle, and Red Hat. VMware leads the pack but faces challenges VMware is still the undisputed leader in the x86 virtualization segment, but it is clear the company is under pressure due to the increased adoption of cloud infrastructure services, market saturation, and competitive pressure from Microsoft. While some large enterprises are moving away from VMware to Microsoft, a few are switching from Hyper-V to vSphere. Gartner also highlighted the trend of cloud-native workloads moving to Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platforms such as Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure, which is an area of concern for VMware. vCloud Air, VMware's hybrid cloud platform, has yet to make a dent in the market.
