商品描述

Every year, datacenter managers must deliver more services faster, with greater flexibility. They must efficiently handle soaring amounts of data, and unprecedented levels of complexity. And they must do all this with lower budgets and fewer resources. Datacenter virtualization with VMware’s vSphere® 5 is the best way to achieve these goals and to accelerate your transition to cloud services. VMware vSphere® 5: Building a Virtual Datacenter brings together all the practical knowledge you need to evaluate, plan, implement, and manage vSphere 5 in your datacenter environment.

 

Top datacenter virtualization consultants Eric Maillé and René-François Mennecier begin by introducing vSphere 5 from the viewpoint of the datacenter manager and professional. They present essential definitions, advantages, and functions; review vSphere 5’s architecture; and introduce core components  such as vCenter Server and ESXi 5.0.

 

Next, Maillé and Mennecier turn to implementation, presenting detailed examples, schemas, and best practices drawn from their extensive experience. They share practical insights into budgeting, scheduling, and planning; choosing the right architecture; and integrating vSphere with existing datacenter elements, including servers, storage, clusters, network infrastructure, and business continuity plans. They conclude  with a start-to-finish case study: a datacenter virtualization project designed to support specific  business objectives.

 

Coverage includes

     •    Assessing the potential benefits of datacenter virtualization in your environment

     •    Organizing and managing a smooth migration to the virtualized datacenter

     •    Anticipating specific challenges and risks associated with datacenter virtualization

     •    Making tradeoffs to optimize stability, elasticity, scalability, and cost

     •    Choosing the best installation/configuration options for your environment

     •    Effectively linking vSphere 5 virtualization  to existing datacenter elements

     •    Driving more value from vSphere 5’s powerful new datacenter features

     •    Providing storage to efficiently support your hosted VMs, now and in the future

     •    Managing limited memory and other  server constraints

     •    Leveraging new options for service continuity and high availability

     •    Using backup architecture as a lever to  reduce costs

 

 

商品描述(中文翻譯)

每年,資料中心經理必須以更快的速度提供更多服務,並具有更大的靈活性。他們必須有效處理日益增長的數據量和前所未有的複雜性。而且他們必須在更低的預算和更少的資源下完成所有這些工作。使用VMware的vSphere® 5進行資料中心虛擬化是實現這些目標並加速轉向雲服務的最佳方式。《VMware vSphere® 5: 建立虛擬資料中心》匯集了您在資料中心環境中評估、規劃、實施和管理vSphere 5所需的所有實用知識。

頂尖的資料中心虛擬化顧問Eric Maillé和René-François Mennecier首先從資料中心經理和專業人士的角度介紹了vSphere 5。他們介紹了基本定義、優勢和功能;回顧了vSphere 5的架構;並介紹了核心組件,如vCenter Server和ESXi 5.0。

接下來,Maillé和Mennecier轉向實施,提供了來自他們豐富經驗的詳細示例、圖表和最佳實踐。他們分享了有關預算、排程和規劃的實用見解;選擇合適的架構;以及將vSphere與現有的資料中心元素(包括伺服器、存儲、叢集、網路基礎設施和業務連續性計劃)整合。他們最後以一個從頭到尾的案例研究作為結尾:一個旨在支持特定業務目標的資料中心虛擬化項目。

內容包括:

- 在您的環境中評估資料中心虛擬化的潛在好處
- 組織和管理順利遷移到虛擬化資料中心
- 預測與資料中心虛擬化相關的特定挑戰和風險
- 在穩定性、彈性、可擴展性和成本之間做出權衡
- 為您的環境選擇最佳的安裝/配置選項
- 有效地將vSphere 5虛擬化與現有的資料中心元素相連接
- 從vSphere 5強大的新資料中心功能中獲得更多價值
- 提供存儲以有效支持您的虛擬機器,現在和將來
- 管理有限的記憶體和其他伺服器限制
- 利用新的服務連續性和高可用性選項
- 使用備份架構作為降低成本的手段
