Description

Besides clustering and content based routing the technique of host virtualization is another possibility of enhancing the availability of central services. The talk will give a short introduction to pseudo virtualization before focusing on the open source XEN virtualization and the Sun Solaris container concept. Different aspects like base features, automatic provisioning, file system support and version dependencies will be shown. The benefits in the context of providing central services are easy service separation, enhanced availability, flexible resource usage and control and simple provisioning.
