Abstract
There is a significant change underway in systems infrastructure. The traditional
infrastructure model of a single monolithic system running a single, monolithic OS and a
single application at wastefully low levels of utilization is obsolete. There is a rapid
shift by customers to an infrastructure that is fully virtual, simpler and robust,
composed dynamically from granular and standard physical hardware components. Virtual
Infrastructure has emerged as the new model for customers to deliver systems
infrastructure services universally to any application and OS by harnessing pools of
server, storage and network. In this model, the operating system's role has changed
from managing the underlying infrastructure to providing the best set of services for
applications. As OSes become customized and integrated with the application stack, virtual
appliances are emerging as the optimal mechanism for customers and software vendors to
deploy and manage software in a virtualized world.
