A Five-Steps process for Virtualization
Do you want to move to Virtualization? Ok … if you want to do that, in addition to have a good back ground about the virtualization, the concept, types and benefits; you have to know the architect for Virtualization and the strategy for the move to virtualization.
"Over the last ten years, Resolutions Enterprises and (Ruest, 2009) have developed a strategy for the move to virtualization. This strategy has been tested through a multitude of delivery projects,
According to Resolutions, the move to virtualization relies on five key steps:
1. Discovery:
The first step begins with datacenter inventories and the identification of potential virtualization candidates.
2. Virtualization:
The second step focuses on gaining a complete understanding of the value choices that virtualization can offer.
3. Hardware maximization:
The third step focuses on hardware recovery and how you can make judicial investments when adding new hardware or replacing older systems.
4. Architecture:
The fourth step looks to the architecture you must prepare to properly introduce virtualization technologies into your datacenter practices.
5. Management:
The last step focuses on the update of the management tools you use to maintain complete virtualization scenarios in your new dynamic datacenter."
