Virtualization is a sea change from the days of one image per physical machine. And the benefits are clear, from better hardware utilization to lower costs to easier management. But while the resulting server consolidation is a good thing, it only solves half the problem. You still need to ensure that best-practice storage management is available to both your physical and virtual servers. This paper discusses the benefits of moving data off of direct attached storage (DAS) inside the server and onto a shared pool of storage in a storage area network (SAN).

VMware virtualization software has been adopted by over 20,000 enterprise IT organizations worldwide. Contain server sprawl by running software applications in virtual machines on fewer, highly scalable, reliable enterprise-class servers. Consolidating underutilized servers lowers capital costs by reducing the need to buy additional hardware for new projects, and removing servers from the data center enables a proportional reduction in operational costs for power, cooling and floor space. This paper clarifies how adopting VMware infrastructure as a fundamental IT strategy helps organizations achieve their cost- and space-saving goals.

Over the next five years, enterprise IT will be challenged to become an efficient and responsive service delivery organization. Administrators at all levels will be stretched to rapidly deploy IT services. What is needed is a computing infrastructure that mimics the efficiency of a highly tuned engine. Operational changes will be required as well. The siloed management style—servers, networks, and storage—all managed by specialized operational groups is already disappearing, and being replaced by heterogeneous management groups. This “melding” of specialist groups is being driven by rapidly advancing infrastructure virtualization and data center transformation projects.
Against this backdrop, the Evaluator Group assessed HP’s approach to data storage and its offering vis-à-vis other vendors.
