Storage Management White Papers

The Operational Benefits of Multisystem Virtualization

Overview IBM provides a variety of virtualization functions for its servers and storage systems, and offers options for managing virtualized resources at multiple levels of the IT infrastructure. IBM has recognized the importance of adapting management tools and procedures for virtualization, and has invested considerable resources in extending its management tools to work appropriately in virtualized infrastructures. As a result, IBM's virtualization portfolio offers a broad array of components that help users extend the value of virtualization beyond relatively simple acquisition cost savings derived from server/storage consolidation. By applying virtualization technologies across multiple systems, users can reap a number of far-reaching benefits, providing the ability to boost availability and maintain service levels for critical applications.
