Book Description

VMware is the industry leader in data center virtualization. The v Sphere 6.x suite of products provides a robust and resilient platform to virtualize server and application workloads.

This book uses proven infrastructure design principles and applies them to VMware v Sphere 6.7 virtual data center design through short and focused recipes on each design aspect. The second edition of this book focused on v Sphere 6.0. v Sphere features released since then necessitate an updated design guide, which includes recipes for upgrading to 6.7, v Center HA; operational improvements; cutting-edge, high-performance storage access such as RDMA and Pmem; security features such as encrypted v Motion and VM-level encryption; Proactive HA; HA Orchestrated Restart; Predictive DRS; and more.

By the end of the book, you will be able to achieve enhanced compute, storage, network, and management capabilities for your virtual data center.
