vSphere High Performance Cookbook – Second Edition

کاربران با کمک VMware vSphere به عنوان پلتفرم مجازی‌سازی پیشرو در صنعت IT، قادرند هر برنامه‌ای را با اطمینان مجازی‌سازی کرده و با ارائه ی دسترس‌پذیری، دیتاسنترهای مجازی را ساده‌سازی نمایند. بدین ترتیب یک زیرساخت با قابلیت های دسترس‌پذیری بالا یا (HA (Highly Available ، خودترمیمی (‌Resiliency) و همچنین زیرساخت On-Demand ایجاد می‌گردد که مبنایی ایده‌ال برای هر یک از محیط‌های Cloud به شمار می‌رود. این امر موجب کاهش هزینه‌های دیتاسنتر شده و علاوه بر افزایش زمان کارکرد برنامه و سیستم می‌تواند نحوه مدیریت دیتاسنتر توسط IT را به طرز چشمگیری ساده نماید. vSphere به صورت هدفمند و برای نسل بعدی برنامه‌ها ارائه شده و به عنوان هسته اصلی برای دیتاسنترهای مبتنی بر نرم‌افزار یا به عبارتی (Software-Defied Data Center (SDDC به کار می‌رود. vSphere موجب تسریع روند حرکت دیتاسنترهای فعلی به سمت رایانش ابری (Cloud Computing) می‌شود و پیشنهادات سازگار Public Cloud را به عنوان زیربنا در نظر گرفته و مبنایی را برای تنها مدل Hybrid Cloud در صنعت تشکیل می‌دهد.

Book Description
vSphere is a mission-critical piece of software for many businesses. It is a complex tool, and incorrect design and deployment can create performance related issues that can negatively affect the business. This book is focused on solving these problems as well as providing best practices and performance-enhancing techniques. This edition is fully updated to include all the new features in version 6.5 as well as the latest tools and techniques to keep vSphere performing at its best.

This book starts with interesting recipes, such as the interaction of vSphere 6.5 components with physical layers such as CPU, memory, and networking. Then we focus on DRS, resource control design, and vSphere cluster design. Next, you’ll learn about storage performance design and how it works with VMware vSphere 6.5. Moving on, you will learn about the two types of vCenter installation and the benefits of each. Lastly, the book covers performance tools that help you get the most out of your vSphere installation. By the end of this book, you will be able to identify, diagnose, and troubleshoot operational faults and critical performance issues in vSphere 6.5.
