The
virtualization tips can reduce costs, facilitate management, and
empower an organization to maximize its productivity. Below will help
you to benefit from the tips From small to large enterprise services
.Virtualization has become a necessity for all companies of any size
virtualization, virtualization helps make more of its own hardware, and
these hardware can do more for This technology is quite new for many
companies, but for the rest it's .companies than the former Regardless
of where you are, virtualization is a widespread technology with many
moving .outdated Having the knowledge to do the best in order to fit
your needs should be your primary goal and your parts Taking this idea
into account, we will look at 10 tips for virtualization that should not
be ignored by network
IT teams of course, we mean those network administrators who have
just taken this technology into administrators account, or have already
carefully reviewed it
01- Capacity plan Virtual the of Hard increasing:
When
you are in the early stages of planning your virtual environment, do
not buy the hardware incorrectly, Remember that .In this area you need
to think too much .which can not handle the load that virtualization
puts it your server may host multiple virtual machines, so it should
have the initial power and the space it needs to Measure the capacity
twice, by .Eventually you need a hosting server that is specific to
virtual machines .grow Do not assume that a virtual machine occupies a
small amount .applying any virtual machine, reduce the capacity And do
not assume that your server is the only host of a virtual machine of
space on the server.
02- Track the lifetime of any virtual machine:
I
have heard from some network administrators that they have left a
virtual machine with little or no supervision You should also always
know about .You have to track all your virtual machines from the start
.to do their job how much virtual machines have expanded, what's their
current status, how much traffic they have, and what It's a very
tempting thing to say: "Set up and forget" virtual machines, but this is
a .other information you get Monitoring software will show you how much
bandwidth .gross mistake and can put you in a world of problems you use
with each virtual machine, and you will easily identify and manage the
machines that have the most network traffic.
03- Do not virtualize anything:
Probably?
Is it FTP server that only receives multiple internal users traffic
.Everything should not be virtualized You need to create a specific
program and decisive reasons for everything that is Not probably ?Print
Server .no When you were able to ?The first thing to ask yourself is
"Why do I need to virtualize X Server. virtualized answer this question a
little bit confident, use the same argument for any server that you
think would benefit from virtualization.
04- Monitor virtual traffic as non-virtual traffic:
Feel
free to think that virtual hosts are safer, Make sure you monitor
virtual traffic like your non-virtual traffic This is a false sense of
safety and should not .simply because you can instantly control their
status with an alert You need to know the internal .But surveillance
goes beyond security .be considered as a substitute for security After a
certain period of time, you will know if there is a need to and
external traffic of your virtual machines give more resources to
specific machines, and whether other virtual machines can be
independently served
05- Do not give virtual resources for free:
I
have seen many times: virtual machines that seem to occupy little space
are easily available in a "free" area Customers need to .Do not even
change a server for free from standalone to virtualized mode .not do
this Virtualization comes with all the benefits that comes with
.understand the benefits that a virtual server gets Additionally, the
technology required for virtualization has related costs, and sometimes
these costs are it Your organization can not bear these costs alone
high
06- Use virtual machines for disposable systems:
This
may seem a bit strange to some people, but there are times when you
temporarily need a system or need a In such cases, there is no better
way to provide a temporary service with virtual machines service Virtual
?Need a print server or temporary web server .Virtual machine is
working? temporary FTP server a good point about virtual machines is
that their hardware resources do not cost you, so machine is enough. You
can even create specific virtual machines for "disposable tasks" and
enable making such a machine is easy.
07- Use bulk drives when performance is important:
For
those virtual machines that .Most administrators create dynamic volume
drives for their virtual machines In other words, set a real size for
the disk in the .need to be more efficient, you need to allocate
massive drives Yes, you need to make the necessary planning so that the
host machine has virtual machine configuration. But the performance of
this work is definitely worth it when you enough space to service the
virtual machines spend it.
08- (Guest and install virtualization) (All development tools for guests):
Most
virtual machine tools (such as VMware and VirtualBox) provide
guest-development tools .This is inevitable and other virtualization
tools designed to enhance experience and performance as well as
integrated guest and But you .Many managers neglect to install these
tools, assuming they are unnecessary .host communication Mouse
integration tools, display drivers, guest-to-host time-alignment, and
other tools can be .install them Although not necessary, they are useful
for improving installed to help make the virtual machine more efficient
end-to-end utilization.
09- Keep your host system up to date at all times:
Although
this is true for the virtual machine, .Most people think that all the
pressure on the car is on the guest car The last thing you need to do is
create your virtual machines .the host also plays an important role in
this process If this server does not host multiple virtual machines,
then the only thing that is at stake .on a vulnerable device But since
the server hosts a number of virtual machines (some of which can .is
surely the server's valuable data For this reason, you need to make sure
.be owned by customers), the threat of data loss increases
significantly
the host is up to date and always safe.
10- Use a comprehensive way to monitor virtualization infrastructure:
The
uninterrupted and comprehensive monitoring of virtualization
infrastructure is very important, especially in cases where the number
of virtual servers is high, you can not control the health and check the
status of each system manually and manually, so you There is a need for
a specialized way of monitoring 24-hour virtual servers, which will
inform you in real time of any kind of problems, comprehensive
monitoring system and data center will provide everything you need for
this.
Conclusion:
At that time, you should be as prepared .Your company may want to invest in virtual technologies at a time.
Note that with the effort and diligence that is required, virtual machines save your money, time and
effort. As which ultimately will satisfy your customers possible.
