Session Title: | Server Memory Strategy: Critical Success Factor in VMware Infrastructure 3 Capacity Planning and Deployment |
Session Abstract: | Does your data centre virtualisation strategy include a VI3 server memory strategy? If not, you may not be achieving the best reductions in your data centre Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Memory is a critical component of all VI3 deployments. This session will discuss the role of memory headroom in virtualisation servers and its impact, from the capacity planning process to the evolution of the VI3 infrastructure with HA and DRS capabilities. It will show how the use of memory cost alone to define ESX server memory standards can lead to higher data centre TCO through the unnecessary addition of new physical servers. It will present Best Practices for defining ESX server memory standards that can increase the benefits of implementing your VI3 infrastructure. In addition, Kingston will present its case study of memory power consumption on popular virtualisation servers, with memory recommendations to help reduce data centre energy consumption. |
