Data Center Virtualization Fundamentals: Understanding Techniques and Designs for Highly Efficient Data Centers with Cisco Nexus, UCS, MDS
The biggest challenge for many IT organizations today is to transfer greater value, efficiency, and productivity from data centers. Virtualization is the best way to solve this challenge. The Data Center Virtualization Fundamentals book provides complete information that Cisco professionals should apply virtualization to their data center environments. In this book, data center expert Gustavo A. Santana thoroughly examines all the components of an end-to-end data center virtualization solution, including networking, storage, servers, operating systems, application optimization, and security. Rather than focusing on a single product or technology, he explores product capabilities as an interoperable design tool that can be combined and integrated with other solutions, including VMware vSphere.
