Providing Maximum Efficiency with Virtualization Technologies
Virtualization is actively being used by Sybase IT to help solve power/cooling issues as well as transform the datacenter into an environment that brings greater benefits to their customers, especially the engineering organization. Average CPU utilization was very low on physical servers and through virtualization this has improved considerably.
Through virtualization, IT has provided a more agile and cost-effective environment and is helping internal customers meet their objectives in a more timely manner. Many Sybase products have been proven to run in virtualized environments and the use of virtual appliances has greatly helped in the rapid deployment of new IT applications based on Sybase products. Virtual appliances are also beginning to be used as a software distribution mechanism to external customers. This article will cover the use of virtualization within Sybase and explore some use cases focused on Sybase products running on a virtualized infrastructure. Sybase customers should find this especially useful as it will show how they can rapidly create test/dev environments of Sybase products with virtualization even when it involves something as complex as the new ASE Cluster Edition.
