Integrating Virtual Machines Into the Cisco Data Center Architecture
Overview Presently, the enterprise data center hardware and software platforms are being consolidated and standardized to provide improved resource utilization and management. As a result, the data center, servers, and network devices must be considered as pools of available resources rather than dedicated assets "Siloed" when solving specific business requirements. Virtualization is a technique that allows the abstraction of these shared resources to provide distinct services on a standardized infrastructure. As a result, the data center applications are no longer bound to specific physical resources. This paper describes how to deploy VMware ESX Server 2.5 into the Cisco data center architecture. It provides details about how the ESX server is designed and how it works with Cisco network devices.
