5 Features of vSphere 5 That You Should Care About
Pretty cool. I know they had talked about doing this awhile ago, but this is nice to finally see.
"With vSphere 5 auto-deploy, you can provision new ESXi hosts amazingly fast. With this new method, the physical server boots over the network using PXE/gPXE, contacts the auto-deploy server, and loads ESXi into memory. Then, the auto-deploy server works with the vCenter server to get the new ESXi host properly configured (according to host profiles and new vSphere 5 answer files).With auto-deploy in vSphere 5, you can deploy tens or hundreds of ESXi servers faster than ever before possible. For more information, watch this presentation on vSphere 5 auto-deploy."
