36 console with the vSphere hypervisor web client, allowing it to work seamlessly with virtualized applications for backup, data replication, cloning, snapshotting and more. 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. On a daily basis, IT teams with traditional networks struggle with time consuming and error prone manual provisioning,
