 |
| A one day course to address the performance issues arising from virtualization and how they affect the process of capacity management. |
|
| The course begins with an initial review of virtualization techniques and how they have been applied to different operating system platforms. VMware is then reviewed in some detail with a case study based on a summary of practical experience of consolidation at a number of sites. Partitions and containers are also reviewed with a case study based on real life experiences. The impact of virtualization on performance and its requirements for performance reporting and capacity planning is finally reviewed. |
|
| Learn how to consider whether to apply virtualization to production applications and, if so, to which ones. Also, if already using virtualization in production, learn of aspects that impact on performance and capacity management. |
|
| The course is aimed at Capacity Management practitioners and/or their managers embarking on assessment of virtualization projects, or already using some degree of virtualization in production, preferably with some practical experience of both performance reporting and capacity planning. |
