Solving performance problems of a computing environment requires an understanding of the interactions between software and hardware. A virtual environment adds new software layers and new types of interactions that must be considered when solving performance problems. VMware vSphere X Performance: Solving CPU, Memory, Storage, and Networking Issues helps VMware system administrators and engineers by providing guidance on common CPU, memory, storage, and network-related problems. You will find step-by-step instructions for solving the problems as well as explanation of possible root-causes. You will learn about troubleshooting methodologies, performance monitoring tools, and tools that isolate performance problems. Coverage also includes best practices for designing and virtualizing mission critical applications with VMware vSphere 4.
