3 Virtualization Infrastructure Design Best Practices

April 1, 2019

Administrators prepared with best practices that emphasize planning, transparency and flexibility can navigate the immense complexity of virtualization infrastructure design with ease. Admins don't always get the chance to design virtualization infrastructure from the ground up. Rather than maintain good enough policies, admins should take a step back and return to virtualization infrastructure design principles that can frame design decisions big and small. An IT infrastructure plan should form the basis of all management and maintenance decisions. Admins should regularly review and renew this plan to evaluate the practicality of integrating new technologies. Products and paradigms that initially lacked support, integrations or cost-effective price points might be more practical now.

On the other hand, the more secure and tightly controlled architectures defined by Zero Trust exponentially increased the cost, complexity, and effort required from staff. Ultimately, this forced organizations into uneasy compromises that were expensive, left technical teams overworked, and fell well short of the ideals of Zero Trust.
