  Rapid fire Q&A

Back on January 17th, my colleague Chris Barclay hosted a webinar for everybody who has been using Virtual Iron 3.1 Coming out of this webinar were a lot of good questions, which Chris has answered and posted to the forums.


Chris answered 18 questions in lightning-round fashion. A few highlights:


Will live migrate (like VMware's vmotion) support dynamic reallocation of virtual servers based on predefined performance requirements?
Yes. We have both LiveMigration (live relocation of virtual servers), and LiveCapacity (automated LiveMigration based on predefined performance requirements.


Did you say that a Management Network was required for more than one Node?
A dedicated management is very helpful, but not required, for more than one virtualized node.


Are there Performance Monitoring tools available so that we can see how well the virtual servers are truly performing?
You can monitor virtual server performance through the Virtualization Manager. And you can use third party performance monitoring tools, just as you would in a physical environment.


Can you create multiple sections such as "TestLab", "Dev_NJ", Test_Asia", etc.. and create admin hierarchies so that management responsibilities can be delegated?
Yes, you can create virtual data centers, which are comprised of physical and virtual resources, to accomplish this.


Check out Chris' post for the full Q&A and feel free to post questions of your own.
