VMware vNetwork Distributed Switch Benefits

 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.
