Guaranteed Compute Resource Allocations
Early incarnations of virtual private servers or shared server configurations were plagued by oversubscription models and virtual private servers were locked into a single dedicated server, resulting in sluggish performance during periods of high use or in the event that you shared a server with another client hogging the host’s resources. Our use of VMware’s vMotion and DRS eliminates this problem as DRS continuously monitors utilization across our server cluster and intelligently aligns resources with capacity demands. vSphere DRS continuously balances computing capacity across our server cluster to deliver overall performance, scalability and uptime that is not possible to achieve with dedicated servers. DRS enables us to:
* Provide dedicated and guaranteed computing power to your virtual machine and allowing it to function and perform as if you had a dedicated server (but without the single points of failure inherent in a dedicated server).
* Offer customized SLAs that dynamically allocate resources to your highest priority applications.
* Provide improved performance for all of your applications as vSphere DRS continuously balance capacity will ensure that each virtual machine has access to appropriate resources at any point in time.
* Easily deploy new capacity. vSphere DRS will seamlessly take advantage of the additional capacity of new servers added to our server cluster by redistributing virtual machines without system disruption.
* Offer 100% uptime SLAs, including no maintenance windows as vSphere DRS can automatically migrate all virtual machines off physical servers to enable scheduled server maintenance with zero downtime.
