Hardware Migration - Aggregation
aggRegation In the aggregation scenario, workloads for a large number of systems of various sizes are migrated into a single, large, fault-tolerant hardware platform where Enterprise Linux can be run. This type of scenario is common in environments where the customer already has a high investment in the specific hardware platform, and wishes to further leverage the platform to aggregate legacy platforms using Enterprise Linux. Customers have a choice of using hardware (LPARs, partitioning) or software (zVM, Xen virtualization) to control access to system resources. Examples of these platforms include: • IBM® System z® using Integrated Facilities for Linux (IFL) central processors • HP® Superdome® (Intel Itanium-based) • Fujitsu® Primequest® (Intel Itanium-based)
