Conclusion
Appliances have, without a doubt, made an important impact into how organizations manage their application pools. They have allowed administrators to migrate from a strategy of one large server in the corner, to multiple servers. One for each application. Monolithic servers have gone the same way as monolithic computers. Today, in a networked environment, interconnectivity is the essential ingredient. The systems are distributed based on load and based on geography.
Virtual servers bring this type of distributed computing to a new height. The ability to move applications between servers, either those co-located in head office or in the data centre, or those distributed throughout the branch offices, has become a key business requirement. With disaster recovery preying on the peaceful sleep of most business executives, the ability to quickly redeploy an application moments after its host server has failed solves many critical business issues.
Unquestionably, the new frontier of application deployment is that of the virtual server, where the physical hardware no longer sets the pace. Instead, the virtual machine provides a pliable, portable environment for all kinds of applications in all kinds of locations.
