Best Practices to Increase Availability and Throughput for VMware

Best Practices to Increase Availability and Throughput for VMware
VMware enables infrastructure that is more available than a traditional physical design, but only if best practices are leveraged for critical datacenter infrastructure. In particular the storage network and storage configuration are critical for overall VMware cluster availability.
In this session, VMware and EMC will be sharing our experiences and best practices for designing highly available storage for iSCSI, NFS, FC and FCoE technologies to support vSphere deployments. We will share information relating to the vStorage APIs for Multipathing, and performance data for various configurations. Come and learn the do’s and don’ts about creating a highly available vSphere cluster, and the underlying storage infrastructure. These findings and best practices are heterogeneous across storage platforms. The discussion will span IP storage options (iSCSI and NFS), FC (4Gb and 8Gb) and FCoE. Configuration demonstrations for both native multipathing and vStorage Multipathing APIs and third party multipathing tools.
