VMware vSphere 5.x Datacenter Design Cookbook (English Edition) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book is a guide for anyone interested in designing virtualized datacenters using VMware vSphere 5.x and the supporting components. Current administrators of VMware vSphere environments will find this book useful, as well as those interested in becoming a vSphere Architect or are interested in learning more about the virtual datacenter design process. Knowledge of vSphere installation, configuration, and administration is a prerequisite.
This book is packed with step-by-step recipes to design a virtual datacenter using VMware 5.x.
VMware vSphere 5.x Datacenter Design Cookbook begins with the process of identifying the design factors and applying them to the logical and physical design process in order to create a successful vSphere 5.x design. The key to a successful VMware vSphere 5.x design is the design s ability to satisfy the design factors. This Cookbook walks you through the process of identifying the design factors which include the requirements the design must satisfy and the assumptions the architect makes to form the conceptual design.
From the conceptual design, the logical design is created. The logical design process includes determining the architecture of and the resources required for the management, storage, network, and compute resources. This Cookbook includes recipes for calculating the resources required and determining the architecture and features to use while applying VMware recommended practices.

The physical design takes the logical design requirements and maps them to the physical infrastructure required to support the resources. VMware vSphere 5.x Datacenter Design Cookbook offers recipes to determine the physical resources and configuration required to support the logical design while satisfying the design factors. VMware vSphere offers several solutions to provide disaster recovery and business continuity. We will learn more about these solutions and how to apply them to the design to ensure recoverability and continued operations in the event of a failure or a disaster.

Finally, the book provides recipes for creating design documentation. Documenting the design, the implementation procedures, and the verification procedures are also covered at the end of the book.
