Storage virtualization in c

2.  Introduction
 Storage Virtualization
 Storage Cost Drivers

3.  Virtualized IT environments and cloud computing will put
new requirements on networks, both inside and to and from
datacenters
 What is happening in the datacenter today is the adoption of
virtualization.
 Virtualization and its benefits are being adopted in multiple
areas from different server platforms and different
hypervisors, to storage and even the network.

4.  Virtual machines enable business to run multiple
operating systems concurrently on single physical
server
 Let us start with the facts:
 Data is growing rapidly, approximately by 50% every
year
 The redundancies are higher
 The total IT budgets comprise around 15% because of
storage
 The companies are running big amount of storage
 Nowadays the companies are not able to control the
rapid growth of the data resulting in lack of efficient
storage.

5.  Application can use storage without any concern for
where it resides, how it has been implemented, which
platform it uses and how much it is available
 Distance
 Size
 File system
 In data centers, all disks are external to the server
Data accessible by other servers in case of server
failure

6.  Greater Performance
 Make storage more heterogeneous
 Make storage more manageable
 Increased Scalability
 Increased disk utilization
 Continuous online back-up
 Make storage smaller
 Disaster recovery capability
 Easier testing

8. Storage is Growing Rapidly: Although the cost of
hardware is decreasing, the overall storage cost is
increasing
 Only 14% of the total cost of ownership(TCO) is
hardware cost.
 Storage-related cost will peak to 23% of the IT
budget.
 Storage administrations increases the management
cost.
