System Sizing Guidelines for Integrity Virtual Machines Deployment -- Hardware Consolidation with Integrity Virtual Machines

21
The Benefits of Consolidating with Integrity VM
Hardware consolidation with Integrity VM can achieve high levels of efficiency with little effort, as
compared to consolidating workloads within a single OS instance or shared middleware.
The most likely area where consolidation with Integrity VM may prove troublesome is in failure to
consider all of the hardware requirements of the workloads: network, storage, memory, as well as
CPU. After you identify the workloads and the server capacity, plan the virtual hardware layout.
This advance planning will lead to a smooth consolidation experience and increased hardware
utilization.
