Different storage policies can be identified for each VM – a key consideration for virtual environments. This allows IT administrators to do things like: ✓ Specify the number of hardware failures a VM can tolerate. ✓ Dedicate a specific percentage of flash storage to a VM. ✓ Identify the number of hard disks that should be provisioned for a VM's objects. ✓ Specify the overall percentage of capacity that should be reserved for each VM. ✓ Change policies on the fly from the vSphere web client. Virtualized Networking Server and storage virtualization solutions have trans- formed the data center. Network virtualization is doing the same. The automation, the cost savings, the benefits of con- solidation and on-the-fly provisioning and software-based control – all are coming to a network near you. Good thing, too, because without network virtualization, the full poten- tial of data center virtualization is not being realized. Traditional networks and network services simply can't keep up with the rapid-fire pace of a virtualized data center. Manual provisioning, vendor-specific hardware and rigid network topologies all affect how traditional networks oper- ate – and how the IT team spends its time.
