storage virtualization
Virtualization turns physical devices into a set of resource pools that are independent of the physical asset they run on. This abstraction makes it easier to implement standardized measurement, monitoring, and management of resources. It also eliminates the economic and operational issues of infrastructure silos. All told, virtualization delivers compelling ...
This ESG Lab report explores how EMC VPLEX can be used to create a heterogeneous pool of storage resources that can be accessed and shared over distance. VPLEX-enabled VMotion over distance and the performance of SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft SharePoint and SQL Server applications are examined as a mix of ...
EMC’s new VPLEX provides data accessibility across distance (some now, more to come) that enables enormous flexibility and, potentially, entirely new IT operational models. In the same way that VMware can be seen as a “software mainframe” in terms of applications and the cloud, so EMC is adding the “virtual ...
The cloud changes the data center ecosystem, offering the promise of simplicity and universal applicability. But if we wish to actually achieve universal applicability, a single set of key technologies across the cloudscape is unlikely to meet enterprise demands for a fully vendor-supported, risk free application environment.
Overview
Currently, enterprises adopt horizontal ...
For those of you who think that the storage and I/O paths in a virtualized environment have already been solved by VMware, think again. VMware created VMFS as a necessity in its ESX environment to be able to share a common disk pool, enable the mobility of virtual machines between ...

Virtualization is at the center of all 21st Century IT systems, yet many CIOs fail to fully understand all of the benefits it can deliver to the data center operation. When we think of virtualization, we think compute, network, and storage—and we mostly think about driving up utilization on each. ...
