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.
