Lesson 1: Overview of Microsoft Virtualization Challenges of
Traditional Computing Environments What Is Server Virtualization?
What Is Network Virtualization? Key Technologies
Slide 10
Challenges of Traditional Computing Environments Traditional
challenges: Space - Housing business equipment Power - Providing
affordable power to run the server, storage and network equipment
Cooling- Maintaining safe operating temperatures for equipment
Resilience - Building robust and highly available solutions and
offering a means to recover data Flexibility Providing the time to
deliver or upgrade infrastructure and or applications Resources
Maintaining staff-to-system ratios and meeting training
challenges
Slide 11
What Is Server Virtualization? Server virtualization: You can
create and run multiple computer operating systems on a single
physical computer Host servers share resources with all the virtual
machines Virtualization challenges: Limited number of compute
resources Server virtualization features: Hyper-V server
virtualization feature allow full utilization of physical resource
and provide advanced technology to make a more robust, available
and dynamic server computing environment.
