If you're involved in planning, deploying, or managing virtualization, this book
brings together all the field-proven, in-the-trenches answers and solutions you'll
need. Packed with examples and case studies, "Practical Virtualization
Solutions" is a complete, self-paced, hands-on guide to creating a
virtualized environment and driving maximum value from it throughout its entire
lifecycle.
Authors Kenneth Hess and Amy Newman present detailed costs, schedules and deployment
plans drawn from actual enterprise virtualization projects. You'll learn what really
works and what doesn't and discover powerful ways to systematically control the costs
of virtualization and streamline its management. The authors offer realistic guidance
on choosing the best services to virtualize; selecting the right virtualization
software, hardware, and vendor partners; troubleshooting and securing virtualized
environments; and much more. Along the way, they answer crucial questions IT
professionals face in working with virtualization.
This excerpt is the book's second chapter entitled, "Comparing Virtualization
Technologies." This chapter gives you a vendor-neutral but technical overview of the
types of virtualization available.
