Managing Application Performance and Availability in a Virtual Environment

Coyote Point Systems

Abstract:

Virtualization is a technology that has radically transformed how data centers are built, managed, and networked. While it brings many benefits, such as better hardware utilization, quicker server deployment and flexibility, it also raises questions on how to better manage application performance and availability in a virtualized environment with Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs). For over a decade, load balancers have provided critical high availability and scalability to web server farms. Virtualization doesn’t eliminate the need for load balancing but it does require a new set of best practices for a deploying a virtualized web application environment. This paper discusses virtualized application performance characteristics and three ways to deploy the capabilities of a Coyote Point an Equalizer™ ADC to significantly enhance the availability and performance of virtualized applications. This includes Traditional, Integrated and Full Virtual.
