VMware DRS
Power management.
Reduce energy consumption in the datacenter by using
VMware DPM to consolidate workloads and power off power
consuming servers. VMware DPM can be configured to make
recommendations for power on or power off based on
user-defined period of resource load history. For example,
power off decisions can be based on 1-2 hours worth of
resource load history and power on decisions can be based on
5-15 minute resource load history.
Initial placement.
When a virtual machine is first powered on, VMware DRS either
automatically places the virtual machine on the most appropriate physical server or makes a recommendation.
Continuous optimization.
VMware DRS continuously optimizes resource allocations
based on defined resource allocation rules and resource
utilization. The resource allocation changes can be
automatically executed by performing live migration of virtual
machines through VMware VMotion. Alternatively, in manual
mode, VMware DRS provides execution recommendations for
system administrators.
