CHAPTER 12: LOCAL CLOUDS AND THIN CLIENTS
A local cloud, or presentation virtualization, allows you to manage all of your data from your own datacenter. Most companies opt to go with a hybrid model, meaning instead of outsourcing they create their own cloud and use thin clients to access it.
Virtualization
Server vertualization is when a server is partitioned into multiple servers so each appears and can run its own dedicated machine. Application virtualization is the software technology that separate them from the underlying operating system. A fully virtualized application will run as if it has been fully installed and it is tricked to believe that it is interfacing with the OS and resources. Presentation virtualization isolates the processing from the graphics which allows for the thin client to control the server. Virtualization can help with cost meaning you can have a cost-free datacenter where you buy the servers but use the options for free virtualization software and operating software. However you can use licensed software, the free software may have a higher operation cost for managing the OS and apply patches. This set up will also lover you administration burden by allowing quicker access and new server deployment. When virtualizing you should create a specialized plan depending on your needs. To create your plan you should look at usage now, CPU, Memory, adapters, file and system capacity, and total useled and unallocated disk space. Peak access should be monitored as well. Virtualized servers have the same security as normal servers.
Server Solutions
Differences in the server and the clients are major in the virtualized environment. the Server does everything in the virtualized environment. Hyper-V is Microsoft’s virtualization software, it is flexible and automatically adjusts to changing conditions. There are also solutions that configure, operate, deploy, and back up physical and virtual servers from the datacenter to the desktop. One of the benefits of Hyper-V is the use of the Windows platform. VMware is a virtualization project for the Linux platform. VMware is also teaming up with Intel to help promote the adoption of virtualization.
Thin Clients
Thin clients can be up to 80 percent more power efficient then a traditional desktop. Sun has created a thin client named Sun Ray, it is capable of displaying Solaris, Windows, or Linux on the same device. HP the leading manufacturer of thin clients. Dell also produces a line of thin clients.
