Hi,
Apologies in advance as I a newbie here.
I am tasked with rebuilding our Virtual Environment. Our business is growing in providing IaaS and would I like some design ideas, recommendations, on how to plan my build.
We currently have 2 hosts - ESXi 4.1 and vCenter Cluster.
We are adding a 3rd host and take it to latest stable verison ESXi 5.1 799733 and start over.
Our Hardware is 90% Dell. Dell Hosts, Dell EQ SANs, Juniper Firewall/Switches.
I would like to utilise vCloud Director (as I believe this is the way forward) although we have not trailed this yet.
We would be using Trend Deep Security for AV, Veeam B&R for Backups.
I am looking for some advice on what my best approach would be, any gotchas out there to look out for, what other products I should consider etc.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
