TechNet Webcast: Storage Best Practices for Virtual Server (Level 200)

Tags:
application servers

Overview Deploying a virtualized data center with Microsoft Virtual Server demands a different and unique approach to storage. In many cases, storage subsystems that are not designed with a virtual environment in mind can introduce complexities that offset the very benefits achieved by running Virtual Server. This webcast explore the essential requirements for a shared storage environment being deployed with Virtual Server. It shows how Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) storage is setup with virtual machines, how to manage volumes to ensure maximum performance and flexibility, how to provide for a highly available storage environment to complement a highly available Virtual Server environment, and how to scale storage environment as the virtual environment grows.
