Part of an emerging family of containment technologies, server virtualization is designed to help reduce server sprawl — the proliferation of individual hardware servers and accompanying management and resource allocation problems. Today, IT managers and executives are starting to consider a variety of virtualization and containment technologies available on Microsoft Windows, Linux, the Solaris Operating System and other environments. There is also renewed interest among industry and academic researchers in this area, as virtualization is a key technology in the deployment of both computational and business service grid architectures. However, significant confusion remains regarding the terminology and techniques involved, as well as the trade-offs among the range of current solutions.
