IMPLEMENT SERVER VIRTUALISATION FOR A SUSTAINABLE ICT SYSTEM
Task 1
Existing infrastructure of the server
An analysis is made on the current infrastructure of VICAT for the development of the server
infrastructure and configuration of the centralized management system for the organization.
The current server infrastructure of the organization uses separate servers for storing the
backup, email and storage. There are different problems faced due to the use of the physical
server in the current business process and it is identified. The physical server is dependent on
the hardware and if there is a need to migrate the content of the server there is an issue that
the content of the server is dependent on the hardware platform of the physical server. There
is a need to virtualize the server platform for creating an independency of the hardware and
increase the portability of the data residing in the physical server. In the current server
architecture there are different problems such as distribution of the loads on the server is not
possible and this can be done by virtualizing the server and moving the resources to another
server for increasing the availability of the data and reduce the cost of implementation of a
new physical server in the network.
The server infrastructure is created for the organization for supporting the current framework
and it consists of a physical and virtual resources for supporting the storage and flowing of
the data packets in the network. The existing serevr
Alternative Virtualization Scenario including risk analysis
An alternative virtualization scenario can be created for the mitigation of the problem
currently faced in the physical server environment. A centralized infrastructure is created
within the data centre and it can be decentralized for distributing the resources in the different
data centre. The different subsystem are included in the servers such as the servers, storage
subsystem and the other network device. The infrastructure of the data centre should have the
