Server/ Storage Virtualization
|
Virtualization is possible at a server hardware/software host level, storage level, and fabric level.
Virtualization is an approach to IT that pools and shares resources so utilization is optimized and supply
automatically meets demand. Virtualization is key on the journey to becoming a more Adaptive Enterprise.
|
Virtualization can change the economics of IT from desktop to datacenter – much like just-in-time capabilities
drove dramatic changes in the manufacturing industry. It's the convergence of business need and technological innovation that can create real, new business value.

| Features
& Benefits |
-
Application Virtualization:
Applications can be virtualized through the use of virtual servers. This allows one to move the entire application from failed hardware to another piece of hardware (one server to another) virtually instantly with proper infrastructure.
-
Virtual Disk Benefits:
High throughput using new controllers with 2 Gb and 4 Gb connectivity, double the cache mirroring ports (from early generations) for improved I/O performance. Outstanding virtualization ensures all the disks in the array are used more efficiently, keeping them all busier and eliminating bottlenecks that lower performance.
-
Virtually instantaneous Snapclone and capacity-free Snapshot (Vsnap):
Allows immediate use of the clone copy, saving significant time. And provides a very efficient low cost option data replication option. Saves disk space and improves disk efficiency and utilization.
