ABSTRACT:
Throwing virtual machines (VMs) on old commodity servers may be just fine for first forays into virtualization and virtualizing simple applications, like file servers. Server selection requires a more thoughtful approach when you get into virtualizing your production environment. In this webcast, analyst Joe Clabby covers the many server platform decisions points in production-level virtualization, including when, where and why to use standard rack-mount or high-density blade servers, expansion options like chassis input/output and number of PCIe slots, clusters and more. He also offers advice and best practices for architecting your virtualized production servers environments for optimal performance and efficiency.
