▶

▶ 
Taking control of your vSphere environment
W
elcome to the brave new world of virtualization. Your mission, if 
you choose to accept it, is to reap the benefits of virtualization and 
leverage VMware vSphere to the fullest extent possible. The mission will be 
successful with careful planning, the right mindset, and a few tips from the 
professionals. Once you’ve successfully completed your mission, you can 
immediately begin enjoying the convenience, efficiency, and reliability that is 
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.
