Concept for system virtualization in the field of high availability computing

More about the book

Focusing on the advancements in server virtualization, this thesis explores its impact on IT infrastructure, particularly in optimizing performance across server farms. It highlights how virtualization can significantly reduce the size of server farms, leading to lower total costs of ownership and improved system availability through techniques like Linux-HA. Despite a potential overhead of 10-20%, the ability to evenly distribute loads enhances efficiency, aligning with broader goals in both server virtualization and distributed systems.
