As a systems integrator, value-added reseller or consultant you may have already decided you want to install and deploy a virtual machine as a server consolidation strategy for a customer. Now you need to understand how virtual machines (VMs) run in production environments.
Chapter 5 from the book Virtualization: From the Desktop to the Enterprise by Chris Wolf and Erick M. Halter will investigate three server virtualization applications: Microsoft Virtual Server, VMware GSX Server and VMware ESX Server.
VM server products will be a vital piece of the infrastructure. Pay particular attention to the suggested best practices in this chapter. You don't want to deploy a server that impedes the workflow of your clients, customers and coworkers. In the end, you're better off overbuilding a VM server than you are meeting the minimum requirements.
The editors of SearchSystemsChannel.com have broken this chapter into several how-to tips, as outlined in the table of contents below.
