Let's say your company has already implemented VMware across the entire enterprise. Everything your users need are stored in virtual machines and run in virtual environments. “This is great” says the authors Matt Liebowitz and Alex Fontana “but what about all the other critical applications that aren't on your virtual machines?” The book Virtualizing Microsoft Business Critical Applicatons on VMware vSphere wants to know why you haven't put everything on VMware. They make some really good arguments for storing and running everything in a virtual world.However, the authors almost talk the reader out of placing Microsoft business applications on VMware in the beginning of the book. It's not all that often that an editor would allow a writer to convince it's readers not to read their book but somehow it happened here. Maybe it's just the way I read the book or the way my messed up head works but it sure seems to me that the authors are damn impressed with Microsoft’s built in high availability techniques. They seem so impressed that they almost talk you out of using VMware for ensuring an even higher level of availability.Notice that I said “almost.”Yes, Microsoft has a great reputation for making business applications that are critical to our jobs.Yes, Microsoft has a wonderful design for ensuring major applications have multiple fail-safes and remain operational if you fully implement (have the resources) the suggested hardware requirements.Yes, to all that but both Max and Alex make a hell of a good argument as to why any organization should look at virtualizing everything, all applications, of all size and manner. Because it adds several additional layers of protection and reduces overall costs. That is part of the reason.
