摘要：This manuscript describes how a virtualized architecture can be utilized to help a corporate data center leverage the multi-core architecture which is often utilized in virtual computing. Further, the advantages of virtualization such as energy savings, isolating sensitive data for security purposes, ensuring data reliability and business continuity, while still maintaining sufficient performance are discussed. A case study examining a data center, in which numerous physical hosts have been virtualized into a single computer, is presented. The results indicate that the common multi-cored virtualization process can lead to significant improvement in performance. Because the potential benefits of virtualization in a multi-cored architecture are critical both financially and operationally to any organization operating on a global scale, the results presented herein is encouraging.
