Server Virtualization
Virtualization and consolidation are driving tremendous growth in capacity requirements and typically operate over expensive primary storage. Recently, many IT organizations started adopting NFS-based server virtualization implementations due to reduced costs and complexity vs. SAN implementations.
Server virtualization typically generates very high random-access I/O loads and has multiple copies for DR, backup, testing and many other purposes. Storwize real-time compression technology redefines the economics of server virtualization and provides the following key benefits:
 |
|
 |
Reduced capacity required for guest OS image files (incl. OS, data files and swap/paging) |
|
Consolidate more Virtual Machines per storage array |
|
Reduced replication costs |
|
Fully transparent to VMware configuration |
|
Improves VMware performance |
|
Shorter backup & restore times |
|
Enable DR services to more Virtual Machines |
