A virtual evolution in IT organizations throughout the world hasbegun. It is estimated that currently 3% of all servers run virtuallyand that number is expected to grow rapidly over the next 5 years.VMware’s ESX server is the enterprise tool that provides the platformon which a complete virtual infrastructure can be designed,implemented, and managed. ESX is the most powerful, resilient andcustomizable of VMware’s three virtual platforms and this book exploresmany of the possibilities that a virtual infrastructure running on ESXServer provides.
Server Sprawl and escalating IT costs have managers and systemadministrators scrambling to find ways to cut costs and reduce TotalCost of Ownership of their physical infrastructure. Combining softwareapplications onto a single server, even if those applications are fromthe same software vendor, can be dangerous and problems hard totroubleshoot. VMware ESX Server allows you to consolidate 15 to 20 oreven more servers onto a single physical server reducing hardware,electrical, cooling, and administrative costs. These virtual serversrun completely independent of each other so if one crashes the otherare not affected. Planning and implementing a server consolidation is acomplex process.
This book details the requirements for such a project, includessample forms and templates, and delivers several physical to virtualmigration strategies which will save both time and costs. You willeasily be able to plan and deploy VMware’s ESX Server and begin downthe path of an evolved, virtual infrastructure in which costs,administration overhead, and complexity are reduced. VMware hasprovided the technology for a virtual infrastructure and this bookshows you how to build it.
