Marshalus Veteran Posted November 17, 2009 Veteran Share Posted November 17, 2009 For performance I would say no, for file servers and print servers yes virtulise! Having virtualized everything from file and print servers, IIS and Apache webservers, Microsoft and MySQL servers, Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory domain controllers, Oracle, various application servers, and 250+ virtual desktops... I can say with some authority, you don't take a (significant) performance hit when you virtualize correctly. With a desktop virtualization solution like VMWare Fusion/Workstation or Microsoft Virtual PC, you do, because you don't really have solid hardware access. With a virtualization hypervisor like VMWare ESX or Microsoft Hyper-V, the game is totally different. Computer hardware, and especially servers, are far more powerful then what any one operating system and application combination can take advantage of. VMWare wouldn't be making money hand over fist if the only thing people were doing with it was virtualizing print servers. In terms of being a single point of failure, you actually create a more robust infrastructure with virtualization. I used to think the same thing up until a few years ago, but look up ESX vMotion or Hyper-V Live Migration, and see what I'm talking about. It would require a NAS/SAN which isn't in the equation right now I'm sure. If you were virtualized, any hardware failure that required a system to be taken off line would be simply migrating the virtual guests to another host, all with NO network connection loss. It could also handle automatically migrating systems based on resource usage. Congrats on the new server BTW.

Exactly, without a NAS/SAN and more servers of a similar size to migrate to should one fail, virtualisation isn't really an option.
