High-Performance Main-Memory Database Systems and Modern Virtualization
Tobias Mühlbauer, Wolf Rödiger, Andreas Kipf, Alfons Kemper, Thomas Neumann · 2015
Virtualization owes its popularity mainly to its ability to consolidate software systems from many servers into a single server without sacrificing the desirable isolation between applications. This not only reduces the total cost of ownership, but also enables rapid deployment of complex software and application-agnostic live migration between servers for load balancing, high-availability, and fault-tolerance.
