Matching Server Virtualization With Advanced Storage Virtualization: LeftHand Networks Accelerates VMware Server Virtualization With SAN/iQ Software-Based Storage Systems

Tags:
storage management

Overview In order to meet the challenges of running today's datacenters, an increasing number of IT organizations are turning to VMware Infrastructure 3 software. The ability to virtualize the datacenter and deploy applications across a shared pool of server resources allows organizations to break free of the limitations they face with aging, silo-based applications. Virtualization enables consolidation, and running more than one operating system and application instance per server can help to increase utilization, reduce cost and help organizations work within the space, power, and cooling constraints of their datacenters. The features that VMware offers on the server side can be enhanced by a storage system that recognizes and enables the added intelligence of a virtualized infrastructure.
