Cosolidation/Virtualization saves real money
Monday Dec 18, 2006
As the BM Seer talked about in http://blogs.sun.com/bmseer/entry/wattage_charts_to_think_about huge saving can be made by increasing utilization on servers. These gains can be seen in real data centers.
For example take a look at the blog posting by an Infrastructure Coordinator for a large Dutch IT Services provider http://virtualize.wordpress.com/2006/12/18/power-savings-through-virtualization/. This was also mentioned in Sun's Peter Jenkin's blog.
By the way the Solaris virtualization features can create the same savings. Since the various Solaris virtualization features are designed to be extremely efficient (as we've shown in the past for example: http://blogs.sun.com/bmseer/entry/virtually_no_overhead_solaris_zones) you may even save more with the near zero% overhead of Solaris.
