FailSafe Server Consolidation
Server consolidation is a flavor of virtualization. Server consolidation implements the virtualization concept. Virtualization is a venerable principle of computing systems design. With virtualization, an application software program calls system resources such as storage, peripherals or special processors, as if the application has exclusive access to them. A resource manager,...
