vSphere Capacity Management



A while ago I did a webinar looking at the release of VI4 (vSphere).
VMware introduced new features such as vApps, vCenter Linked Mode and vNetwork distributed Switch whilst also improving the enterprise scalability.

I delved into these new features and enhancements and what affect they would have on Capacity and Performance within a VI4 environment.
I took a look at Storage Capacity features such as Storage vMotion, Thin Provisioning and VMFS Grow, pointed out key performance metrics and reviewed enhancements to VMware Tools as well as revisiting old favourites such as CPU Ready Time, Ballooning, Swapping and Transparent Page Sharing.

So if you’d like to understand the features and enhancements of VI4, their benefits and how they can help manage capacity more efficiently, what performance metrics should be monitored and why? Or decide about Memory over-allocation. Can you do it? Should you do it? Join me, any time that suits you, by downloading my recording


I’m always wanting to update the content of my sessions and share both good experiences and bad, tips and techniques that will help us all manage VMware within the  community at large. 

Please feel free to offer any feedback you have on performance aspects of vSphere.
