Designing a virtual datacenter for performance, availability, manageability, and recoverability using VMware vSphere 5.xAbout This Book
  • Innovative recipes, offering numerous practical solutions when designing virtualized datacenters
  • Identify the design factorsrequirements, assumptions, constraints, and risksby conducting stakeholder interviews and performing technical assessments
  • Increase and guarantee performance, availability, and workload efficiency with practical steps and design considerations
Who This Book Is For

This book is a guide for anyone interested in designing virtualized datacenters using VMware vSphere 5.x and the supporting components. Current administrators of VMware vSphere environments will find this book useful when interested in becoming a vSphere Architect or are interested in learning more about the virtual datacenter design process. Knowledge of vSphere installation, configuration, and administration is a prerequisite.

What You Will Learn
  • Identify key factors related to a vSphere design and apply them to every step of the design process
  • Create a vSphere conceptual design by identifying technical and business requirements
  • Design for performance, availability, recoverability, manageability, and security
  • Map the logical resource design into the physical vSphere design
  • Create professional vSphere design documentation to ensure a successful implementation of the vSphere design
In Detail

VMware vSphere 5.x provides a robust and resilient platform for virtualizing server and application workloads in datacenters. The features available in VMwares vSphere 5.x suite of products simplify the management of resources, increase the availability of applications, and guarantee the performance of workloads deployed in the virtualized datacenters. VMware vSphere 5.x Design Cookbook covers the design process from creating the conceptual design, to determining the resource requirements for the logical design, and then on to creating the physical design.

VMware vSphere 5.x Datacenter Design Cookbook begins with the process of identifying the design factors and applying them to the logical and physical design process in order to create a successful vSphere 5.x design. The key to a successful VMware vSphere 5.x design is the designs ability to satisfy the design factors. This Cookbook walks you through the process of identifying the design factors which include the requirements the design must satisfy and the assumptions the architect makes to form the conceptual design.

From the conceptual design, the logical design is created. The logical design process includes determining the architecture of and the resources required for the management, storage, network, and compute resources. This Cookbook includes recipes for calculating the resources required and determining the architecture and features to use while applying VMware recommended practices.

The physical design takes the logical design requirements and maps them to the physical infrastructure required to support the resources. VMware vSphere 5.x Datacenter Design Cookbook offers recipes to determine the physical resources and configuration required to support the logical design while satisfying the design factors. Finally, the book provides recipes for creating design documentation. Documenting the design, the implementation procedures, and the verification procedures are also covered towards the end of the book.

About the Author

Hersey Cartwright has worked in the technology industry since 1996 in many roles, from helpdesk support to IT management. He began working with VMware technologies in 2006. He was the key sponsor of the virtualization initiative at ABNB Federal Credit Union and played a key role in the design, implementation, and management of virtual infrastructure of the ABNB.

In his current role as the Senior Virtualization Engineer at ABS Technology Architects, he is responsible for the design and implementation of VMware environments that support a wide range of business applications. He does most of his work with small- and medium-sized environments with 3 to 10 hosts, but he has also been involved with several large, multisite deployments. He has had experience working with a wide variety of server and storage platforms.

Since January 2011, he has been an instructor with the VMware IT Academy program at the Tidewater Community College, where he teaches the VMware Install, Configure, and Manage vSphere 5 and the Optimize and Scale vSphere 5 courses. He has designed and implemented the lab environment used by the students in the virtualization and security programs offered at the Chesapeake Campus of Tidewater Community College. He enjoys teaching and learns a lot by teaching others about the benefits of virtualization.

Along with VMware certifications, he also holds certifications from Citrix for XenApp and XenDesktop and the Information Storage Associate (EMCISA) certification from EMC.

He actively participates in the VMware community and has been awarded the vExpert title in both 2012 and 2013. He has presented multiple articles at professionalvmware.com on vBrownBags on vSphere administration, vSphere design, and vSphere disaster recovery. He regularly blogs about virtualization and other technologies at http://www.vhersey.com/.

Acknowledgments

I want to thank my family, especially my wife Sandy, for putting up with the long hours I work and supporting everything I do. You guys are my everything, and your support and encouragement means the world to me.

I also want to thank the great VMware community. There are a lot of great folks there who are always willing to help. A special thanks to the #vCoffee crew group on Twitter: Shane, Susan, Matt, and Todd.

Finally, I want to thank my employer, ABS Technology Architects, and my supervisor, Rob, for the opportunities and flexibility.

About the Reviewers

Takashi HOSHINO works at Cybozu Labs, Inc. and is interested in database and storage systems. He is developing vmbkp: an open source VMware vSphere backup tool.

Nilesh Pawar has a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology and has successfully completed learning .NET programming. He has a complete understanding of the life cycle of software development projects. He has spent part of his career as a programmer (.NET, MS-SQL, and Crystal Reports). He is a VMware Certified Professional, Red Hat Certified Engineer, and is Citrix Xenserver Certified, along with a strong knowledge of networks. He is well versed with IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS cloud delivery models.

He designs public and private Cloud Infrastructure and Services. He has a deep understanding of network and firewall policies. He has strong impact analysis and debugging skills. He has knowledge of e-mail solutions, security (AV and anti-spam), e-mail archiving and compliances, and two-factor authentication.

He has a good knowledge of Windows clustering and Hyper-V environments. He also likes to learn and excel in new technologies. His resume can be referred to for additional information on his experience. His profile can be found at www.nileshpawar.info. He can be reached anytime via his cell phone at +91-99208 29266.

Greg Swallow , an Indiana boy, currently lives in Indianapolis with his wife, Nami, and two children, Noah and Madeline. He has worked as a system administrator since 1997. His career has included running the State of Indiana website for NIC, starting up a hosted IaaS platform that runs VMware vSphere for Expedient, and managing over 2,000 Linux VMs with a team of just two persons at a large Orange company (ExactTarget), where he lives. He is currently employed at Indigo Biosystems as a DevOps engineer, which is a fancy title for a system administrator who likes to work directly with a dev team and can write scripts.

When he's not working, he usually marches with his family through the woods until they beg him to stop, and then they turn around and march back to the car. Otherwise, if they don't want to go, he leaves them behind and grabs his running shoes or his bike and does the same thing on his own.

I would like to thank Expedient for sending me to VCP training. The training has paid off fivefold. I would also like to thank Packt Publishing for offering me the opportunity to review this book. It's been fun!

Bingfeng Zhao is a system programmer. He has a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from Inner Mongolia University, but he finally found that programming is much more fun and a better way to raise his standard of living. He uses C/C++ mostly and devotes more time to the virtualized digital world. He works for the EMC company as a Principal Software Engineer, and he helps to design and implement unified storage systems. He lives in Beijing, China with his lovely wife Jing Lai.
