  • the hp virtual server environment making the adaptive enterprise vision a reality in your datacenter hp professional series
    2005
    Co-Authors: Dan Herington, Bryan Jacquot
    Abstract:

    Praise for The HP Virtual Server Environment"This book will educate professionals about the components of a virtual server environment and how to manage them in everyday tasks. It demonstrates how to manage resource utilization in real time and to its full capacity. Bryan and Dan are fully qualified to write this book, having been involved in creating and designing a number of the virtual server environment components."-D'Ann Chorak, Software Engineering Project Manager"Great overviews, technology details, and practical example details."-George Williams, Solution Architect, Hewlett-Packard Co."From a customer standpoint, almost anyone can make use of the Solutions and concepts portrayed in The HP Virtual Server Environment. Some of the Solutions are free, so there are ways to take advantage at no cost. No matter what Solution is used, the results are a win-win situation for the customer."-Alan Hymes, Solution Architect, Hewlett-Packard Co."The material is well-written. The book will appeal to high-end enterprise system administrators and Architects who are interested in implementing an 'Adaptive Enterprise' environment or in improving an existing environment."-Rob Lucke, Chief Solutions Officer, Vista Solutions Corp."This book is perfect for those looking for a high level overview of VSE and those investigating the use of VSE technologies in their data center."-Erik Bostrom, Engineering Program Manager, Hewlett-Packard Co."The HP Virtual Server Environment represents a nearly exhaustive discourse on the basic and common capabilities of the software. The casual user will come away feeling that they understand the purpose and general use of the programs and confident that they can integrate these capabilities within their server environment."-Dave Butenof, Instant Capacity and PPU Software Architect, Hewlett-Packard Co.Use HP virtualization to maximize IT service quality, agility, and value Includes coverage of HP's new Integrity Virtual Machines, Global Workload Manager, Virtualization Manager, and Capacity Advisor Plan, implement, and manage virtualization to drive maximum business value Understand HP's virtualization Solutions for partitioning, utility pricing, high availability, and management for HP Integrity and HP 9000 servers Manage your existing resources to drive unprecedented levels of utilizationVirtualization offers IT organizations unprecedented opportunities to enhance service quality, improve agility, and reduce cost by creating an automated balance in system resources. Now, there's a comprehensive guide to virtualization based on the industry's most flexible and complete Solution: HP's Virtual Server Environment (VSE).Two leading HP Architects and customer consultants help you identify the best "sweet spot" VSE Solution for your environment-and plan, implement, and manage it.The HP Virtual Server Environment systematically introduces VSE technologies for partitioning, utility pricing, high availability, and management, as well as HP's powerful, unique goal-based approach to workload management. Whether you're a Solution designer, Architect, or engineer, you'll find realistic examples, deep insight, and practical tips, all with one goal: to help you maximize the business value of virtualization. Architect flexible, dynamic configurations that adapt instantly to business requirements Choose the right Solutions from HP's partitioning continuum: nPars, vPars, HP Integrity Virtual Machines, and Secure Resource Partitions Use utility pricing Solutions to deploy instant, temporary, or pay-per-use capacity wherever you need it Improve utilization and control your virtual environment with HP-UX Workload Manager, HP Serviceguard, HP Global Workload Manager, Virtualization Manager, and Capacity Advisor Integrate VSE technologies into heterogeneous HP-UX, Linux, and Windows environments on HP Integrity and HP 9000 servers© Copyright Pearson Education.

  • An Architecture for virtual Solution composition and deployment in infrastructure clouds
    Proceedings of the 3rd international workshop on Virtualization technologies in distributed computing - VTDC '09, 2009
    Co-Authors: A.v. Konstantinou, Alexander A. Totok, William Arnold, Tamar Eilam, Mohsen Kalantar, Edward Snible
    Abstract:

    The combination of virtual server technology and the Infra- structure-as-a-Service (IaaS) approach to utility computing promises to revolutionize the way in which distributed soft- ware services are deployed. Server virtualization technology can be used to capture complete reusable software stacks, shifting the complexity of middleware installation and con- figuration from deployment to packaging. IaaS clouds pro- vide a set of interfaces for controlling virtual machines and configuring their hardware and network environment, sub- stantially reducing the complexity of service provisioning. In this paper we identify and tackle a few of the remaining challenges in fulfilling the promise of radical simplification of distributed software service composition and deployment. We propose an approach and Architecture for composition and deployment of virtual software services in cloud envi- ronments. We introduce a virtual appliance model which treats virtual images as building blocks for composite solu- tions. Virtual appliances use a port abstraction to negoti- ate their communication parameters. A Solution Architect creates a virtual Solution model by composing virtual ap- pliances and defining requirements on the environment in a cloud-independent manner. The virtual Solution model is transformed to a cloud-specific virtual Solution deployment model used to generate a parameterized deployment plan that can be executed by an unskilled user. We validated our approach through a prototype implementation demonstrat- ing flexible composition and automated deployment in our local lab virtualization infrastructure and in Amazon EC2.
