Summary

If you are like my typical customers, you would have found the concepts in this chapter a breath of fresh air. They were the missing pieces in your performance management.

We saw what exactly performance is, as a lot of VMware architects, engineers, and administrators are mistaken about it. Once defined, we looked at a sample set of guidelines on the value you can use for your operation.

In the next chapter, we will cover capacity management in greater depth, as it is an area that is made more complex once you virtualize your data center.
