AIX - Advantages of Logical Partitioning
The following are benefits of logical partitioning on a server:
2.1 Consolidating servers
A logically partitioned server reduces the number of servers that are needed in an enterprise. We can consolidate many servers into a single logically partitioned system. This eliminates the use of additional equipment & expenses.
2.2 Sharing resources
The ability to share resources among many logical partitions allows us to increase resource utilization on the server and to move the server resources to where they are needed. We can easily move the hardware resources from one logical partition to another logical partitioning whenever we need.
