Using Wasabi Storage Builder for IP-SAN With VMware ESX Server 3.0

Tags:
ip technologies

Overview In the server room of a typical organization there are separate, dedicated servers providing various functions - for example, a file server, a mail server, and a database server. However, industry analysts estimate that servers that are running a single application are utilizing as little as 10% of each server's resources. It is easy to do the math and realize how much money is unnecessarily being spent on unused resources. While it is possible to run multiple applications on the same physical server, this is only feasible if the applications all run on the same operating system. Furthermore, even if the applications do run on the same operating system, there is the potential for conflicts between applications.
