Server Virtualization Design

Thank for providing information here .Currently, we are implementing the Virtual environment for Training lab and Hosting Company with cheap price, I went through your requirement and I would like to know few more details about the hardware configuration also I would like to understand the current setup. If you have the blueprint then please share with me or let me know I will create the architecture diagram send to you for your review. I am looking forward your reply .  less

Hello, I'm working as a Support Engineer for IT company with support IT solutions is my mainly response. I'd like to give you one option with 2 servers, 01 SAN storage using VMware HA technology. Feel free to contact me if you need more information Thanks less

Hi, We are providing largest remote support in the world in IT services. We have complete team in all products like Microsoft, Linux, Csico, DELL, EMC , SAN , DAS, VMWARE, CELEARE . All members are certified. Please give us a chance to work with you. Waiting for you positive response. Regards, Imran Rafique less

We are a team of well experienced IT infrastructure professionals and posses hands on experience in Nix/Win and Networking verticals, We have been working for different clients for their setups in Datacenters and have worked with allmost all the Virtualization technologies. less

You will get the best configuration from us, hands down, 1500 is pennies for a 2 node cluster of what I can build you. cluster infrastructure running Linux, GFS2, Libvirt, KVM. The cluster can scale to hundreds of nodes and will continue to grow on demand. We use load balancing technology and high availability; your domain is always optimized if performance for any reason becomes an issue and migrated live to another server. I wanted to discuss an alternative to Vmware ESX Cluster for the Linux admins.. This cluster supports all the features of ESX and is completely free. * Virtual Machine Live Migration * Self Healing * Clustered Filesystem * No Need for expensive SAN * CTDB LVM load balancing * Very Reliable and stable * Parallel CIFS SMB (windows 2008 replacement) much faster! * Run ~20 Windows, Linux, Solaris hosts on 2 servers! There are so many high spec machines sit at idle, you can really do quite allot with 2 servers and create a cluster to support many different applications and even virtualization for an entire infrastructure. Your environment will be highly available and fault tolerant using these techniques. We should start with 2 identical machines each with 2 or more hard drives. One of these drives will be used for the operating system; the other is our DRBD drives. Once we configure DRBD with GFS2 we have our replacement SAN. I prefer to dedicate one drive completely to the operating system for I/O performance. I use the latest release of Fedora Linux but any distribution should be fine. For the virtualization hypervisor I use libvirt with KVM which will completely replace xen eventually. Once familiar with this kind of configuration you can easily take one node offline to upgrade additional storage or any hardware requirements without users suffering. If you would like us to build you one of these clusters please send us an email enquiry . We provide you with a full working manual, disaster recovery assistance, and remote management as necessaries.

VMware ESX server is the worlds best technology in terms of server virtualization. It has the vmotion for both storage and server that allows you to perform all the operations you mentioned in the project description. I am a VMware certified professional working for VMware Inc. So, there should not be any problems with installations from my side. Guaranteed results. ESX server would provide you all the mentioned requirements. XEN servers can also do this for you. I have a team of citrix specialists who can do the various tasks for you too. less

Hi, i implemented a cluster like this. I used ganeti (a google's virtualization solution that is free software), wich use Xen para-virtualized as hypervisor, Drbd as instance-level disk replication (Drbd is a network raid1 solution) and ganeti to provide instance managment(failover of instances on another node in the cluster, template base instances creation, memory and disk instances managed, etc). The problem is this can run just debian's based instances. Regards.  less

Hello I am a system administrator for 10 years. For my company I set up a virtualization system equivalent but with some small differences. I can provide you with our choice of infrastructure and advise you and set up systems so that they are fully functional Best regards less
