Webcast Series: VMware and EMC Make Virtualization the Right Move Now

With the increasing deployment of VMware ESX servers for mission-critical applications, it becomes even more important to maintain the performance of these applications in virtual machines. The complexity of virtualization, especially when server and storage resources are shared across multiple components, makes it more difficult for an administrator to detect and solve performance problems.

Using CLARiiON Navisphere Quality of Service (NQM) and VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler allows you to maintain application service levels in virtual machines. This greatly minimizes the time and resources needed to manage and fix performance issues.

In VMware environments, virtual machines running on ESX servers have different service-level requirements. Two tools, DRS and NQM, help to meet these requirements. DRS maintains CPU and memory resources by setting reservations and shares for virtual machines in a resource pool, while NQM helps you manage storage system I/O. EMC's NQM allows you to measure and prioritize I/O characteristics in a storage system.

Register to view this recorded webcast and learn best practices for deploying NQM in VMware environments and see a product demonstration. All attendees will receive the free white paper "VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Planning for EMC Celerra: Best Practices Planning".
