Virtualization and Green Computing

Overview

One of the primary goals of almost all forms of virtualisation is making the most efficient use of available system resources, therefore green computing is central to this process.

Storage virtualisation uses hardware and software to break the link between an application, application component, system service or whole stack of software and the storage subsystem.

This article looks at the virtualisation approach and how it can help organisations reduce hardware, maintenance and administrative costs while also helping preserve energy.
