ABSTRACT:
While server virtualization is typically implemented initially for consolidation, it also brings strong benefits in increasing availability for server applications. Furthermore, virtualization is moving beyond servers, and offering desktop delivery alternatives through virtual clients, application virtualization and application streaming. Moving beyond consolidation leverages your existing virtualization products, knowledge and skills to deliver better service to your end users — through increased availability, manageability and flexibility of both server and desktop applications.
Chapter 3 - Benefits of Extending Virtualization to the Desktop
Barb Goldworm gives a detailed crash course into virtualization types and how they can be used for high availability in this chapter of her presentation on extending virtualization beyond server consolidation. She discusses market players and new high availability features in VMware ESX and Microsoft's Virtual Server.
