Provision of high availability
for the web services from
the hardware infrastructure
perspective.
 High availability of software resources is a major
factor that creates and increases the business.

Virtualization provides good support to host the

software components with lesser issues in terms
of hardware maintenance, disk extensibility,
datacenter space, power supply etc.

Shared Storage provides easy recovery and

Clustering provides high availability of the
resources.

Coupling the characteristics of virtualization with

shared storage and clustering provides high
availability.
 Failure of Web service application

Single point of failure of Hardware resources

Loss of the Resource content

Loss of business / Client Dissatisfaction

 Availability of Web services(round the clock
through out life time of web site)

Recovery of resources.
(hardware/software/application)

Availability of Infrastructure to host the Web

services.
 Solaris Virtualization is similar to
other virtualization technique as it
provides all features of virtual
servers, but has its own way of
implementation.

It ensures non interference

between virtualized servers even
though multiple servers reside on
single physical server.

Virtual servers are called as Zones

in Solaris.
Storage devices are in size of
Terabytes, so partitions are
necessary.

In NetApp partitions are done

by creating volumes and their
respective LUNs.

File systems need to be

created after which the space
shall be utilized for hosting the
OS and application content.

Virtual servers provide functionality of
Physical Server.

Web server and Application servers are

isolated & No interference between the
Virtual servers.

Implementation of Virtual server with

shared storage achieves ease of
recovery of data in case of server failure
and High availability.
Enhancing Virtualization with clustering
shall provide switchover functionality of
Virtual server from one physical machine to
the other physical machine.

Further in Storage level we shall go for SAN

(Storage Area Network) to achieve higher
availability of the resource.
