The deployment of a virtual infrastructure opens many new doors for disaster-recovery planning. The virtual infrastructure administrator will lead the charge into a new era of ideologies and methodologies for ensuring that business continues as efficiently as possible in the face of corrupted data, failed servers, or even lost datacenters. With the release of VMware vSphere, we have been given more tools at our disposal to reach our goal of increased uptime and recoverability of the infrastructure. You’ll learn about the methods and new features available to reach this goal.

Using both methods ensures that the administrator is not caught unaware of performance issues or lack of capacity. vCenter Server provides some exciting new features for monitoring your virtual machines and hosts, such as expanded performance views and charts, and it greatly expands the number and types of alarms available by default. Together, these features make it much easier to manage and monitor VMware vSphere performance.
