By simplifying and automating management tasks, you can increase IT productivity and create a more flexible and resilient infrastructure. VMware technology provides a fundamentally better way to manage storage resources for your virtual infrastructure, giving your organization the ability to:
* Improve storage resource utilization and flexibility.
* Reduce management overhead and increase application uptime.
* Leverage and compliment existing storage infrastructure.
VMware has built a robust storage interface into the VMware vSphere that gives you a wide range of storage virtualization connectivity options while providing a consistent presentation of storage to virtual machines.
VMware vStorage is optimized, tested and certified for a wide range of Fibre Channel and iSCSI SAN equipment, and is also compatible with NAS devices. This broad compatibility enables you to easily connect your existing storage resources to your virtual infrastructure.
Storage Area Networks (SANs) provide powerful features for a VMware vSphere environment, including VMware VMotion and VMware DRS. Storage consolidation within a SAN allows for the consistent application of data protection and disaster recovery.
Fibre Channel SAN is the most common infrastructure for many organizations. The combination of Fibre Channel SANs and VMware technology makes it possible to consolidate many virtual machines on a single shared storage resource in the SAN, simplifying management while improving scalability, reliability and performance.
iSCSI is a key technology that delivers scalable, cost-effective, high-performance virtualized SAN environments. iSCSI support broadens the potential for full VMware deployments in both small and medium businesses by eliminating the cost and complexity of Fibre Channel SANs.
Network attached storage (NAS) devices offer all VMware vSphere capabilities. Network Attached Storage provides file level access to storage over a standard LAN or WAN network. Typically NAS units are customized to just data storage, data access and storage and access management.
This technology makes available enterprise resources for storage management for every size and budget. For more information on what services will best fit your needs request a demo at Tek-Tools.com.
