This paper explores the application of virtualization technology in the construction of university data centers. Firstly, the problems of traditional physical server architecture in data centers are analyzed, including low resource utilization, poor fault tolerance, high construction costs, and complex system maintenance. Then, an overview of virtualization technology is provided, including concepts such as compute virtualization, network virtualization, and storage virtualization. Next, using China University of Geosciences (Beijing) as an example, the specific implementation and effects of data center virtualization based on the VMware vSphere platform are introduced. Finally, the significant benefits of virtualization technology in university data center construction are summarized, including cost savings, improved operational and management efficiency, simplified administration, and enhanced resource utilization. This paper comprehensively and systematically elucidates the advantages of virtualization technology in addressing the challenges faced by university data centers, providing valuable insights for the planning and construction of university data centers.
