Virtual server environments and desktop virtualization have made it easier for users to consolidate their data, conserve energy and reduce their physical systems. However, enterprise data storage managers have run into problems with managing data in a virtual server environment.

Desktop virtualization can also create bottlenecks because so many desktops run on a single host. Therefore, successfully managing virtual servers often takes a joint effort from storage administrators, as well as desktop and server administrators.
