Abstract
This paper describes a specific aspect of the work that has been done to virtualize the IT server estate of a company with a modern business architecture of about three to four hundred servers. This yields a practical server environment with the same architecture and servers and integrated networking in an abstracted form by using sets of HP c7000 chassis units. It has been achieved by applying hypervisor-based virtualization technologies to clusters implemented across constituent blades between sets of chassis units. The working system is enhanced by enabling specific HP c7000 operational capabilities together with separate virtualization technologies, which are consolidated in a single coherent design model enabled as a virtualized system implemented within one to three chassis units on a single site. Furthermore, the system is enhanced by enabling virtual L3 Ethernet via specific HP c7000 chassis operational capabilities which are consolidated in a single coherent design mode. The system is now enhanced so as to operate on a multiple site basis and also to use physical as well as virtual systems (e.g. servers, appliances, applications, networks, storage) in the same functional domain.
