Storage Virtualization

Server | Application | Storage | Desktop

What is it?

Storage virtualization makes the storage pool available to all your applications and services. It allows capacity to be added transparently, storage on all devices to be 100% utilized, hierarchical storage management to be automated, and data migration, replication and recovery to be executed with no downtime for users.

What does it do for you?

• Improved resource utilization by eliminating stranded capacity on separate storage devices.
• Allows data to be moved to any storage device in the pool when subsystems fail or are replaced with no disruption to users.
• Enables the cost-effective implementation of automated, tiered storage architecture (ILM) where data is moved to less expensive, lower performance systems as it becomes less business-critical over time.
• Increases availability and provides Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity through ease of replication and migration across geographically dispersed components.
• Reduces downtime because changes are made through storage management tools at the virtual level rather than at the physical level (increasing availability).
• Reduces storage costs by enabling continued use of legacy systems, independence from vendor compatibility issues, and allows “just in time” storage provisioning and growth.
• Reduces staffing and training costs as more capacity can be managed on fewer storage devices.
• Reduces energy and data centre costs.
