Storage Management Strategies for the CIO
Four Challenges to Making Server and Storage Virtualization Work - SD New York City 2007
sponsored by Storage Decisions
ABSTRACT:
Unfortunately, server virtualization with shared storage exacerbates pre-existing storage management issues and in many cases, creates new challenges not present in a purely physical world. As a result, server virtualization planning and deployment are increasingly intertwined with the planning and scaling of a storage infrastructure that can support the high levels of consolidation that many businesses demand today.
As the scale of a virtual environment increases, the performance, availability and cost-efficiency of the storage infrastructure becomes crucial to enabling the next level of scalability of a virtualized server environment. In this presentation, Steve Norall, analyst for the Taneja Group, discusses the key end user storage challenges and how new technologies are evolving to address these problems.(THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.)
