Persistent memory (PMEM) is a new technology that adds a storage layer between Solid State Drives (SSDs) and Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), and takes the best of both technologies. Recall that SSDs are devices that store data in dense, non-volatile, Flash memory and are much faster than spinning hard drives that store data on magnetic disks. DRAM is typical server memory, which is very fast but is volatile, meaning that data is only stored when power is applied. When power is lost, the data in DRAM is lost as well. PMEM, also referred to as a Non-Volatile Dual Inline Memory Module (NVDIMM), is a technology that is as fast as DRAM, hundreds of times faster than SSDs, but non-volatile, like SSDs, and provides a useful function in a vSphere environment. VMs don't even have to be PMEM-aware. Legacy applications and operating...

Overview of this book
VMware is the industry leader in data center virtualization. The vSphere 6.x suite of products provides a robust and resilient platform to virtualize server and application workloads.
This book uses proven infrastructure design principles and applies them to VMware vSphere 6.7 virtual data center design through short and focused recipes on each design aspect. The second edition of this book focused on vSphere 6.0. vSphere features released since then necessitate an updated design guide, which includes recipes for upgrading to 6.7, vCenter HA; operational improvements; cutting-edge, high-performance storage access such as RDMA and Pmem; security features such as encrypted vMotion and VM-level encryption; Proactive HA; HA Orchestrated Restart; Predictive DRS; and more.
By the end of the book, you will be able to achieve enhanced compute, storage, network, and management capabilities for your virtual data center.
