Virtualization options: I may have to agree with the other post submitted earlier in regards to renaming this article. As I too believe that we understand this particular topic is centered on one type of product which is EMC?s VMWare virtualization platform. However this would lead readers to assume that this is the virtualization standard and that the sole platform available out there today is the VMWare branded product.

Also I think it would be fair to also mention some of the various options one might have in further meeting these virtualization challenges in their environment when talking about these 11 topics. Such as Virtual Center, and HP SIM if currently using HP host servers.

Virtual Center, the central management piece essential to any virtual infrastructure design; of which allows great control and management of any environment consisting of multiple host servers. Configuration, security, capacity management and inventory control all topics mentioned here as virtualization issues encountered when using ESX are easily managed using this product with ESX.

Also depending upon what type of hardware your organization chooses to go with. If it is HP the HP?s Systems Insight Management software offered as a free down load addresses the correlation, detection/discovery and identity topics discussed here, and this management software also has virtual plug-ins and an array of other tools for any admin to assist with the virtual environment issues presented by these 11 items or so named pitfalls.

In short I think any organization must first properly identify their requirements prior to implementing any virtualization solution and in so doing one could easily prevent any of these issues presented here by addressing them prior to going live with any virtual roll out.; Posted by: asoliz@...
