Network Appliance and VMware ESX Server 2.5.x: Building a Virtual Infrastructure From Server to Storage

Overview Virtual infrastructures provide a fantastic solution to the challenge of distributed server architecture; however, the native storage virtualization within VMware ESX server does not provide for the same benefits and hardware reductions as it does in the server space. It is common to see storage usage in an environment have the opposite result and actually increase after the implementation of a virtual infrastructure such as the VMware ESX server. This paper discusses the virtual storage solutions that reduce cost, increase storage utilization, increase fault tolerance, and address the challenges of backing up and restoring VMware ESX server environments using Network Appliance technology.
