How (much) is virtualization used today?
- by BLAKE
I know that where I have worked, I have pushed alot for virtualizing our servers.
I think that it is much easier to implement and maintain than physical servers.
I have been using Microsoft's Virtual Server 2005 R2 since it was released. Right now at my workplace we have 12 VMHosts that hold about 55 VMs. We have 6 other servers that we have been unable to convert to VMs.
I want to know how other people in our field view virtualization. I know that I have had developers dislike the notion of VMs claiming major performance hits.
What do other Sys Admins think about virtualized servers?
