Typically,
servers are set up with a single workload and ample reserve capacity to handle
the peak demand of that workload. gWLM allows you to combine multiple workloads
with differing demand patterns on a single server and make use of the idle
capacity—when it is not needed by your mission-critical workload.
Confidence that mission-critical workloads get the required
resources
Even with multiple workloads on a server, you can ensure
your mission-critical workload gets the resources it needs: gWLM automatically
adjusts resource allocation, making it easy to share resources when they are
plentiful, and to dedicate resources to workloads during spikes in resource
demand.
Reduced system administration costs
With gWLM,
you can combine more workloads on fewer servers, thereby reducing administration
costs.
