Introduction

The Dynamic Resource Scheduler (DRS) application from VMware is used to provide load balancing within the

IT network. In particular, DRS is used to ensure the right resource capacity is available for the data center load.

A second application called VMware vMotion (used in conjunction with DRS) will enact movement of VMs from

ysical server to physical server in order to provide the best load balance.
