for 'partition' a bladecenter - or - how cloud computing right

Hello

Some customers consider a configuration large bladecenter with vmware enterprise and storage san NAS.

from an organizational point of view, the client is divided into several, independent and small departments with own little teams, it also has a centralized IT Department.

now, the 'question' is-how to divide the bladecenter for different teams.

current planning is the central COMPUTING service should manage the virtual Center and storage and have "admin center role" - and each dedicated their own 2 or 3 blades and getting fewer rights in the virtual center of the get team.

In my view, assigning dedicated to subdivisions blades is absurd (for example in a perspective of load and availability) - and buy vmware enterprise here is sorta "casting pearls before swine."

shouldn't they better take 'cloud' approach and the partition up bladecenter set up via resource pools, each team need not care that they are on the blade?

If so, how to convince them to proceed in this way?

Never sell the concept that it's a good idea to divide the actual blades between the Department, that defeats many of its great benefits with virtualization, such as failover and load balancing features. If they can accept data for the actions of their VM (which they do already if it's on the same SAN) then have the plant IT be administrators in the environment and use the roles of vCenter (that you can also create yourself to your taste) for departments to limit their access to the machines of the other Department. For almost all objects in vCenter (clusters, pools of resources, files, VM) you can assign roles and users in this role will not see anything outside of this object. Resource pools allows you to balance resources host evenly between departments. You might even go so far as to central IT and only create virtual machines and let departments manage.

If you have not already, I highly recommend the implementation of an Infrastructure/vSphere evaluation version to see these things in action if you don't have it already, it will help you understand the possibilities you can offer to your customers. Good luck!
