Virtualization software enables you to use today's more-efficient, high-performance hardware to support hundreds of applications and several operating systems in a single system. That alone shrinks your datacenter hardware footprint, cuts energy costs, and simplifies administration. Storage virtualization enables you to centralize data storage to protect data, improve security and disaster recovery, and accelerate data backups. Desktop virtualization enables you to move data, applications, and processing away from desktop PCs onto secure, cost-efficient virtualized network resources, replacing expensive PCs with virtualized thin-client computers.

There are multiple ways to virtualize a server: Operating system (OS) virtualization, hard partitions, and virtual machines (VMs). Choosing the right server virtualization product is an important business decision, and Sun has the virtualization and server technology portfolio along with the consulting expertise to help you make the right choice. Virtualization has quickly become an important technology across all aspects of the IT environment. It is rapidly being deployed in server, storage, networking, as well as client environments. Sun offers a complete desktop-to-datacenter virtualization product portfolio and comprehensive set of virtualization service offerings to help customers deploy new services faster, maximize the utilization of system resources, and more easily monitor and manage virtualized environments. Despite all the recent buzz, virtualization is by no means new. Mainframe computers have offered the ability to host multiple operating systems for years. Sun has been innovating virtualization technology into its products and solutions for 20+ years. Sun servers with CoolThreads technology feature Logical Domains (LDoms), the most open virtualization technology available - and it's free. Unlike proprietary virtualization technologies, LDoms can save you over $3,600 per system and require no additional hardware to manage or control virtual machines. The more servers you virtualize, the more you save and benefit. Logical Domains - powerful, open and free virtualization technology With the cost of electricity climbing every day, power is an important reason that businesses pursue virtualization. For every machine you don't run, you save power and, more important, money! Sun's Professional Services team can help you address your datacenter virtualization, consolidation, and sustainable IT needs. Sun xVM VirtualBox is the new open-source virtualization software for personal computers that enables you to easily work on cross-platform applications and virtualized server environments, from any platform you choose. | ||||||||||
