Using a Network Appliance SAN With VMware Infrastructure 3 to Facilitate Server and Storage Consolidation
Overview Many companies are experiencing a rapid proliferation of commodity Intel and AMD x86 servers. These systems are typically equipped with a small amount of internal or direct-attached disk storage. As server numbers grow into the hundreds, the management complexity for both servers and storage increases exponentially, putting a strain on limited administrator resources and IT budgets. Server and storage consolidation using VMware Infrastructure 3 (VI3) software and Network Appliance storage systems significantly reduces these problems. The benefits of VMware are uniquely complemented by Network Appliance storage solutions. Using NetApp technology, storage can be consolidated onto one or a few storage systems accessed across Fibre Channel SANs or regular IP networks.
