Intel Page Modification Logging (PML) is a novel hardware feature for tracking virtual machine (VM) accessed memory pages. This task is essential in today’s data centers since it allows, among others, checkpointing, live migration and working set size (WSS) estimation. Relying on the Xen hypervisor, this paper studies PML from three angles: power consumption, efficiency, and performance impact on user applications. Our findings are as follows. First, PML does not incur any power consumption overhead. Second, PML reduces by up to 10.18% both VM live migration and checkpointing time. Third, PML slightly reduces by up to 0.95% the performance degradation on applications incurred by live migration and checkpointing.

Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) converges compute and storage resources on industry-standard x86 servers, and uses software to abstract and pool cluster resources with unified management software. HCI transforms data centers by simplifying operations through automation, and lowering TCO by leveraging industry standard servers and scaling incrementally.

Virtualization is the means by which IT administrators create virtual resources, such as hardware platforms, storage devices, network resources and more. There are quite a few tools that enable the creation of virtual resources (such as Xen and KVM), but what about the management of those tools? That’s where SUSE Manager comes in. The current iteration of SUSE Manager enables an admin to work with VMs via the following feature set.

IT spending remains buoyant, as the momentum for digital transformation initiatives continues to accelerate. New technologies are giving organizations a boost in operational efficiency, improving customer outreach, and enabling better collaboration between business users. In ESG’s annual research survey of senior IT decision makers, 26% of respondents described their organization’s digital transformation initiatives as mature, and a further 47% said they were currently implementing and executing various digital transformation initiatives. Six years ago, these percentages were 13% and 38% respectively, showing just how far digital transformation has come.
