Hi there,
Here I would like to share my experience with others on how I implement the Virtualization Infrastructure in my company.
This is not the solution, at least can be a reference or feedback from expert for the best practice.
I will continue update the information from time to time and prepare contents index for easy.
1. Comparison on current virtualization technologies - vmWare, MS-HyperV, Citrix-Xen, IBM-PowerX,
a. Hardware requirements to setup the whole set of infrastructure - Base Host, Managing Host, VM Host, Network, Storage, Backup/Recovery, etc)
b. Cost on hardware, software (initial), annual fees, support/maintenance, licenses, etc
c. User experience from End-user and Administrator views - infrastructure deployment, system deployment, security, performance, etc
2. Training, Trial and Prof of Concept report
3. Vendor study,evaluations/selection criteria
4. Project Proposal documentation and Overall ROI forecast - cost, management, etc
5. Maintaining existing system, trouble shooting, upgrading, expanding, consolidating, etc
... to be continue ...
