Chapter 22. Server Virtualization Project: Planning and Design Phase
The server virtualization project planning and design phase consists of three main parts: determining Hyper-V server configuration requirements to support the migration of virtualization candidates, determining how to best consolidate the workloads of the virtualization candidates to maximize the number of virtual machines per Hyper-V server, and designing the overall solution requirements for the virtualization environment. The primary goal of server consolidation is to maximize the number of virtual machines hosted on each server. The number of virtual machines hosted on a physical server is called the consolidation ratio. The higher the consolidation ratio, the lower the capital cost of the virtualization infrastructure.
