Oracle just published Best Practices for Building a
Virtualized SPARC Computing Environment, a white paper that provides guidance
on the complete hardware and software stack for deploying and managing your
physical and virtual SPARC infrastructure. The solution is based on Oracle
SPARC T4 servers, Oracle Solaris 11 with Oracle VM for SPARC 2.2, Sun ZFS
storage appliances, Sun 10GbE 72 port switches and Oracle Enterprise Manager
Ops Center 12c. The paper emphasizes the value and importance of planning the
resources (compute, network and storage) that will comprise the virtualized
environment to achieve the desired capacity, performance and availability
characteristics.
The document also details numerous operational best
practices that will help you deliver on those characteristics with unique
capabilities provided by Enterprise Manager Ops Center including policy-based
guest placement, pool resource balancing and automated guest recovery in the
event of server failure. Plenty of references to supplementary documentation are
included to help point you to additional resources. Whether you’re building the
first stages of your private cloud or a general-purpose virtualized SPARC
computing environment, these documented best practices will help ensure
success.
Please join Phil Bullinger and Steve Wilson from Oracle to learn more about breakthrough efficiency in private cloud infrastructure and how SPARC based virtualization can help you get started on your cloud journey.
