VMware vNetwork Distributed Switch Benefits
In
summary, network configuration at the datacenter level offers several
advantages.
·
First, it simplifies datacenter
setup and administration by centralizing network configuration. For example,
adding a new host to a cluster and making it vMotion compatible is much easier.
·
Also, distributed ports migrate with
their clients. So, when you migrate a virtual machine with vMotion, the distributed
port statistics and policies move with the virtual machine, thus simplifying
debugging and troubleshooting.
·
And, enterprise networking vendors
can provide proprietary networking interfaces to monitor, control and manage
virtual networks.
