HP has expanded its storage virtualisation product portfolio. The aim of storage virtualisation technology is to make the most of the storage hardware capacity by pooling all resources together via a single platform or a management point.
At this point we have to take care that when we reinvent the process of logistically organising our wealth distribution, we should do so on the basis of the optimisation of the whole and not the individual components parts.
Nimbus "provides a certain level of abstraction of the underlying hardware, so this Adaptive Enterprise provisioning and virtualisation can then talk to this relatively consistent interface," Haff said.
Reasonable, yet lesser impetus is being put behind the implementation of resource management software, for example storage virtualisation and grid-related technologies. Perhaps this disinterest is unsurprising given the frequent misinformation...
Using this the calculator recommends the best way to achieve savings ranging from consolidating equipment such as buying more efficient servers, lighting and cooling systems to process optimisation such as energy efficient services, minimising...
A variety of measures for optimising servers are detailed in the report, including storage virtualisation and configuring virtual servers to reduce hardware and support costs and decrease energy requirements.
