EMC/ VMware, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, Citrix, and dominate the markets for cloud architecture. IBM SOA services oriented architecture is the base for enterprise cloud virtualization initiatives leveraging middleware to implement the cloud. Worldwide markets are poised to achieve significant growth as globally integrated enterprises worldwide move to implement more cost efficient IT systems. Transaction process and Internet workload computer processing delivery modalities depend on the efficiencies of scale achievable using cloud computing.

Virtualization is the fundamental aspect of cloud computing. Virtualization permits enterprises to achieve modernization of IT by consolidating workloads onto fewer platforms and to optimize the management of those workloads with automated process. The aim of computer virtualization is to increase the utilization of systems in the data center and at the line of business.

Cloud computing has three virtualization aspects: Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Business software as a service SaaS applications and cloud computing models have matured and adoption has become an issue for every IT department. These models are offered as solutions targeted top different types of application delivery. These solutions all adapt to virtualized environments.

Microsoft solutions are being virtualized to increase the utilization and density of server processing. VMware a virtualization solution commonly used. It facilitates the creation of virtual machines on the Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 operating systems, creating multiple images of single servers on a larger server. Server virtualization creates economies for running the data center.

Virtual machines are created and managed through a VMware or other web-based interface. A utility is used to mount multiple server images on a single more powerful server, consolidating workloads and saving hardware costs.

Running Linux In Virtual Machines

IBM z/VM offers the ability to run Linux in virtual machines on IBM System z. IT needs to run Linux in virtual machines for enterprise computing. Linux in virtual images is evolving rapidly. Data centers have to meet ever increasing demands with flat budgets. IBM System z delivers a unique hybrid computing model.

IBM zEnterprise 196 allows data centers to optimize workload deployment on best fit technologies with a common management infrastructure. It works for both mainframe and distributed system resources. zLinux is positioned to drive down overall costs. This model integrates data serving and analytics for actionable insight.

IBM zEnterprise 196 is positioned for use by the line of business. It enables fast and flexible delivery of new services to drive innovation. z/VM works with open source operating systems, Linux, on the mainframe. Within the z/VM environment, Linux images benefit from the ability to share hardware and software resources and use internal high-speed communications.

According to Susan Eustis, “Customers consolidating on System z virtualized systems are benefiting from the reliability, availability and serviceability of IBM System z servers. z/VM offers platforms for consolidating select UNIX™, Windows™, and Linux workloads on a single physical server.”
