Analyst firm The 451 Group has just released some very interesting findings about virtualization and availability in a recent report by Chief Analyst John Abbott. Some of the key take-aways include:
• Virtual infrastructure can form the basis of fully automated availability processes. Availability becomes a default property of the virtual machine.
• ‘Dial up’ levels of availability can be implemented, depending on the requirements of specific applications or departments.
• If a system restore is required after a disaster, it’s usually much easier and much quicker to restore a virtual machine than a physical machine.
• Virtualization infrastructure is already a core component in datacenter automation, unified computing (the bringing together of servers, storage and networking) and cloud computing. Availability services based on top of a virtualization layer will slot right into any of these longer-term initiatives that customers may be working toward.
• Industrial-strength storage networks, currently a best-practice requirement for virtual availability, will lose ground to alternatives, which are maturing.
• The worlds of high availability and disaster recovery are coming together as virtualization is added to the mix.
• Tools more friendly to end users are likely to emerge, reducing the load on enterprise IT support staff, but requiring sophisticated underlay technology.
