Server Virtualization

Many organizations are using server virtualization to maximize hardware usage and reduce costs.

Server virtualization products allow the assignment of CPU resources to processes. This may take the form of a maximum percentage of combined CPU utilization, or as specific allocation of logical CPUs, to a virtual machine (VM). The server administrator is responsible for making these configuration decisions. Logi Analytics' product licenses treat a VM just like a regular, non-virtualized server.

In order to ensure good performance in any virtualized server environment, administrators must be careful to allocate appropriate resources to VMs.

It's not uncommon to relocate a VM from one hardware platform to another, for example, for hardware maintenance. The Logi license will "move" with the VM, as long as the machine name remains unchanged.
