Busting the Myths: Hadoop Virtualization
Learn the facts about virtualizing Hadoop on vSphere.
Run Big Data Apps on vSphere
Easy Sharing of Data Center Resources
Manage VM templates, vApps, ISO images and scripts from a central location with vSphere Content Library, and deploy VM templates directly onto a host or cluster for a consistent provisioning experience.
Centralized Network Management
Provision, administer and monitor virtual networking across multiple hosts and clusters from a centralized interface. The vSphere Distributed Switch provides rich monitoring capabilities.
Resource Prioritization
Automatically shift resources according to the rules and policies you’ve set up, and address network utilization through a dynamic allocation of I/O capacity across a cluster of vSphere hosts.
Rapid Deployment and Provisioning
Rapidly deploy and provision multiple vSphere hosts, enabling automatic correction of configuration drift and eliminating the need for specialized scripts or manual configuration.
