VM Storage Solutions

Server Virtualization enables tremendous efficiencies in your data center, from server consolidation to enhanced reliability and efficiency. However, provisioning and managing storage for the virtual environment can present challenges.

With most storage area network (SAN) systems, you must perform a dozen or more steps from three separate consoles: Storage, ESX servers (physical servers), and virtual machines (VMs) in order to provision storage for VMs. In addition, mapping out the relationships among storage, VMs, and hosts can be complicated, particularly in larger virtual environments.
