Server Virtualization vs. Hyper-Convergence: Architectural Evolution and Future Choices

Server Virtualization and Hyper-Convergence: Architectural Evolution and Future Choices In the journey of building modern data centers, enterprises face a choice between two mainstream architectures: server virtualization clusters and hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) clusters. These two technologies are not simply alternatives; they represent the evolution of IT infrastructure from “resource abstraction” to “architectural integration.” This article … Read more

Introduction to Virtualization Technology Concepts

Introduction to Virtualization Technology Concepts

Virtualization technology is essentially a resource management technology, which abstracts, logically transforms, and isolates various physical resources (CPU, network, memory, storage, etc.), freeing them from physical structure limitations, allowing for better utilization of these resources than the original configuration.The main types of virtualization are:1. Server Virtualization (Mainstream)This is the most common form of virtualization, dividing … Read more
