It then outlines managing servers through centralized platforms to enable dynamic provisioning based on real-time needs, and monitoring physical and virtual servers from various vendors to ensure performance and uptime. Disaster recovery and data protection methods are also discussed to maintain high availability through technologies like replication and continuous data protection.
