ABSTRACT:
Traditionally, data centers have attempted to respond to growth by adding servers and storage systems dedicated to specific applications, business functions, customers, and geographic locations. Over time, the result has been a complex, inflexible infrastructure that is difficult and costly to manage.
To solve these problems, organizations are turning to virtualization technologies. The benefits of virtualization are well understood: it helps reduce capital and running costs; it allows organizations to be more flexible and nimble in response to market changes; and, as every environmentally-aware CIO knows, helps reduce the data center's carbon footprint through lower power and cooling requirements.
To take full advantage of server virtualization, and create a true virtual data center, IT departments need a holistic storage solution that allows fully shared resources, easy and automated storage classification and migration and complete data protection.
