Abstract

Server consolidation, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environments, and cloud computing trends dominate the landscape of new server purchases. Virtualization has many benefits: it increases utilization, improves security, lowers costs, and reduces management overheads. In some cases, the number of virtual machines consolidated onto a single processor has grown faster than the number of hardware threads. For example, IBM has reported a case study of consolidating 3,900 servers onto only 30 systems [7] and VMWare case studies have reported consolidation ratios from 4:1 to 15:1 [9]. The number of partitions on each machine is expected to continue to increase [1]. Copyright © 2012 by the Association for Computing Machinery, Inc. (ACM).
