This book will detail the default and custom installation of VMware's ESX server as well as basic and advanced virtual machine configurations. It will also discuss the requirements for a server virtualization and consolidation project and the cost savings surrounding such an effort. Furthermore, the book will provide a thorough understanding of the benefits of a virtual infrastructure and a comprehensive examination of how VMware eases administration and lowers overall IT costs.A virtual evolution in IT organizations throughout the world has begun.It is estimated that currently 3% of all servers run virtually and that number is expected to grow rapidly over the next 5 years. VMware's ESX server is the enterprise tool that provides the platform on which a

These virtual servers run completely independent of each other so if one crashes the other are not affected. Planning and implementing a server consolidation is a complex .This book details the requirements for such a project, includes sample forms and templates, and delivers several physical to virtual migration strategies which will save both time and costs.


You will easily be able to plan and deploy VMware's ESX Server and begin down the path of an evolved, virtual infrastructure in which costs, administration overhead, and complexity are reduced. VMware has provided the technology for a virtual infrastructure and this book shows you how to build it.Lastly, the book delivers a thorough understanding of the virtual evolution which is underway in many IT organizations and how the reader will benefit from shifting from the physical to a virtual world.A detailed resource on the default and custom installation of VMware's ESX server.Covers all the requirements for a server virtualization and consolidation project and the cost savings surrounding such an effort.Delivers a thorough understanding of the virtual evolution occuring in the IT industry.
