VMware vSphere 6.7 od podstaw

Nick Marshall, Mike Brown, Ryan Johnson

Termin wirtualizacja od jakiegoś czasu jest bardzo modny. Oznacza abstrakcję zasobów obliczeniowych opartą na innych zasobach, jednak specjaliści IT słowo to kojarzą z abstrakcją sprzętu (serwerów), czyli oddzieleniem systemu operacyjnego od sprzętu, na którym jest uruchomiony. Dzięki temu na jednym fizycznym serwerze można jednocześnie uruchamiać wiele systemów operacyjnych. W takiej właśnie technologii działa rodzina produktów VMware vSphere. Tego rodzaju wirtualizacja przynosi wiele różnych korzyści, od oszczędności wynikających z mniejszej liczby potrzebnego sprzętu po lepszy dostęp do sieci i puli zasobów, które można wykorzystywać z dużo większą efektywnością. W książce znalazły się wszelkie informacje potrzebne do instalowania, konfigurowania i monitorowania wirtualnego środowiska z wykorzystaniem VMware vSphere 6.7. Zaprezentowano tu szeroki zakres możliwości vSphere, opisano też przydatne funkcjonalności i udogodnienia. Dokładnie przedstawiono zagadnienie instalacji i konfiguracji sieci wraz z magazynami danych vSphere. Kolejne rozdziały poświęcono wysokiej dostępności, nadmiarowości i wykorzystaniu zasobów. Nie zabrakło opisu tworzenia maszyn wirtualnych i zarządzania nimi, a także monitorowania ich pracy i diagnozowania problemów. To wyczerpujące kompendium wiedzy o implementowaniu, utrzymywaniu i diagnozowaniu środowisk wirtualnych klasy korporacyjnej. W książce między innymi: planowanie wdrożenia i proces wdrażania środowiska VMware vSphere konfigurowanie sieci, maszyn wirtualnych oraz pamięci masowych zarządzanie przydzielaniem i wykorzystaniem zasobów monitorowanie wydajności i dostępności infrastruktury zapewnienie ciągłości działania automatyzowanie typowych operacji administracyjnych VMware vSphere: zostań mistrzem wirtualizacji!
