Considerations for the application of background construction in VMware environment

Virtualization technology provides the feasibility for large-scale resource sharing, centralized management and cloud architecture, and brings the change of application structure through virtual terminals, which greatly facilitates the new business model. In the mainstream technology of virtual host technology VMware's ESX platform technology construction, we need to improve and consider more elements, so that the full use of the benefits of virtual technology to achieve the best system construction results, so as to avoid the new technology system construction may cause risks.

Open storage consolidation technology needs to be considered

After the introduction of virtual host technology, the storage virtualization technology is used to realize the resource integration of heterogeneous storage devices, including free scheduling and on demand allocation, unified monitoring and management of storage resources, unified security of data security system, implementation of cloud storage mode and so on.

Need to consider data security in a new perspective

With virtualization platform technology, a large number of applications to access the virtual platform through virtual terminals to provide services, may reach thousands of customer connections. Once the virtual platform has data corruption (such as virtual file exceptions, attacks, and so on), no matter how tight a multiple-machine switching system, it can lead to a large number of connections and data loss. In the past, the traditional backup technology for data backup, this model not only data may cause a long time loss (in accordance with the days), may also cause a long recovery time, generally reached more than 10 hours of recovery time. And the heavy footprint of backup software on virtual machine (VM) resources is a daunting problem. Therefore, the need to stand at a new height to consider the most important data security system construction, to ensure the continuous operation of the business and data can be quickly recovered.

Performance Considerations for Virtual platforms

A large number of virtual desktop connections often cause a spike in performance at the same logon, and need to consider the use of virtual storage technology and associated acceleration techniques to stabilize and adapt performance imbalances.

Cloud Architecture Considerations

Cloud architecture enables the distribution of data in a cloud structure, where data can be obtained at any location, and provides a corresponding cloud structure service.

Currently, there has been a very good combination of VMware technology with the virtual storage engine technology, flying virtual engine technology, in close conjunction with the virtualization platform, such technologies are already in the open storage platform, unified resource management, the precision of various types of failures (accuracy to achieve any IO) and rapid recovery capabilities, The High speed performance optimization ability, the cloud structure's different address duplication ability and so on many aspects, all guaranteed the virtual application platform the application operation ability and the failure recovery ability, causes the virtual technology application to be possible in the broader domain to show its vitality.
