Virtual Iron brings us LivePower
LOWELL, Mass. – August 11, 2008 – Virtual Iron Software (www.virtualiron.com), a provider of comprehensive server virtualization solutions for organizations of all sizes, today announced new power management capabilities in the latest version of its software, Virtual Iron Version 4.4. This release extends Virtual Iron’s virtual infrastructure management capabilities with the addition of LivePower™, a new experimental feature that automatically optimizes power usage to deliver significant cost-savings and environmental benefits across the data center.
LivePower, available with Virtual Iron Version 4.4, optimizes data center power consumption by monitoring resource utilization in the virtual data center. When there is excess CPU capacity, LivePower consolidates virtual machines onto fewer physical servers and shuts down the remaining devices based on pre-defined policies. When the virtual machine load increases beyond pre-defined thresholds, LivePower turns physical servers back on and live migrates virtual machines to rebalance the virtual data center and ensure that resource requirements and service levels are met.
Very cool, bringing enhanced functionality and management to Virtual Iron’s virtualization offering has to be a good thing for the industry and the end user. I’m off to read up about it.
