Now we are aware of the general reasons that enterprises implement virtualization. However, it's not a flag-off and then administrators would implement Hyper-V. There are certain important factors and principles that need to be considered further, for which a requirements' report is drafted. This is followed up by an environment assessment. Thereafter, the design plan is documented and implemented. Let's look at the design principles and then we will see how the solution accelerators and design guides for virtualization can help us assess and conclude the design plans:
Availability: Availability is measured by defined factors to ensure that a solution is redundant and resilient. The objective is to determine how much availability is desired from the solution and how much RTO/RPO is to be sustained. The requirements differ greatly among organizations. For a small organization, the requirement would suffice with a single virtualization host with adequate storage and no...
