Enterprise-level Java applications are ideal candidates for deployment on a virtualized infrastructure using VMware vSphere 4.1. With VMware vSphere 4.1, Java applications can take advantage of the configuration flexibility and consolidation benefits of virtualization while still achieving high levels of performance. This applies to JEE applications deployed in full application-servers, as well...

VMware ESX enables multiple hosts to share the same physical storage reliably through its highly optimized storage stack and VMware Virtual Machine File System (VMFS). Centralized storage of virtual machines using VMFS provides more control and flexibility. It also enables such unique virtualization capabilities as live migration (VMware VMotion), VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler, VMware H...

A study of VMware ESXi 5.1 server has been carried out to find the optimal set of parameters which suggest usage of different resources of the server. Feature selection algorithms have been used to extract the optimum set of parameters of the data obtained from VMware ESXi 5.1 server using esxtop command. Multiple virtual machines (VMs) are running in the mentioned server. K-means algorithm is ...
