Under-utilized server resources didn't seem like such a big deal until the recent economic slump forced a harder look at technology budgets. Now the focus is on consolidating workloads (applications, servers, etc.) to do more with less. This session will look at a case-study example of real-world scenarios dealing with issues such as server consolidation, disaster recovery, application management and routine task automation and how they help ensure the high availability, high performance and low cost that virtualization promises.
Arvato mobile, a subsidiary of Bertelsmann AG, is the leading mobile entertainment provider in Europe. The company initially used an open source virtualization solution, but outgrew it as the number of servers increased and management became cumbersome. To fix the issue, arvato mobile chose an OS-level virtualization approach offering higher performance, near-zero overhead, and the comprehensive management toolset the company needed.
