successful with careful planning, the right mindset, and a few tips from the
professionals. Once you’ve successfully completed your mission, you can

VMware vSphere.
This chapter provides an overview of your virtualization mission. Looking
down from a high level, you see how to determine where vSphere can best fit
into your environment. The next waypoint shows how you can use the infor-
mation to develop rollout plans for vSphere. Looking beyond your rollout
plan, you discover how to request storage and network resources critical for
a successful deployment. A preview of deployment comes next, followed by a
peek into the day-to-day operation and maintenance of vSphere.

vSphere and Your Environment
VMware vSphere is comprised of many parts, some of which you may never
use and others that you’ll use every day. Because it’s impractical to cover
every combination of vSphere components and features, this book focuses
on the most common configurations, but still touches on each of the features
offered in the product. How you will deploy vSphere depends on your envi-
ronment, the scope of your initial rollout, and the version of vSphere being
deployed.
