Design Challenges Of Virtualized VMware vCenter With A vNetwork Distributed Switch
The vSphere Enterprise Plus vNetwork Distributed Switch (vDS) has been heralded as, and I might add lives up to it’s reputation of, an administrator’s time saver and single point of virtual networking configuration and visibility across many ESX/ESXi 4 hosts. However, the vDS presents some administrative challenges unique from the traditional vNetwork Standard Switch (vSS) that admins are used to.

VMware Capacity Planner Troubleshooting Tips
My last VMware Capacity Planner job with a customer was a little cumbersome. The customer had around 350 systems spread all over the world and links between them with high latency which normally is just within limits, but it seemed the Capacity Planner had troubles with it. It took quite some time getting everything running the way I should. I decided to write a blog post on this since there is not much to be found on VMware Capacity Planner troubleshooting.

Analysis: Better VMware vSphere Data Protection Through Unified Backup and Replication
To establish highly efficient operations, the consensus among CIOs is that virtualization of systems and storage is the magic bullet for achieving higher IT resource utilization and lowering management costs. That has administrators at many IT sites now working with limited numbers of abstract device pools rather than multiple instances of proprietary devices. Nonetheless, system and storage virtualization also introduces multiple levels of logical abstraction and resource redirection that can obscure and complicate important IT operations.
