VMware -Virtualization creates new storage requirements and new opportunities for consolidating servers and information. One of
the key features in VMware ESX is the advanced capabilities of VMotion, managed by Distributed Resource Scheduler. Any virtual
machine that resides on a Storage Area Network (SAN) can survive a crash of server hardware, which runs the virtual machine, and
can be restarted on another ESX Server either manually or under automated control with VMware HA. However, this presents a new
challenge for the storage infrastructure—every virtual server image must be able to access the same storage. Data Storage Systems,
Inc. helps you create a flexible, powerful and highly available storage infrastructure that meets your needs today, and lets you grow
seamlessly in the future.
