Virtual storage servers are created by running HP/LeftHand Networks' SAN/iQ on a
virtual machine. By clustering multiple virtual storage servers together, you can
transform the internal storage of your physical servers into a virtual SAN in the same
way you cluster multiple enterprise class x86 servers into a SAN.
A cluster of virtual storage servers delivers the same scalability, high availability,
reliability, and integrated feature set of a traditional HP/LeftHand SAN. The only
difference is that virtual storage utilizes hardware resources that already exist within
your IT environment.
By creating a virtual SAN from existing hardware, you can cost-effectively deploy
server virtualization high availability/disaster recovery features that depend on network
storage. Use one management interface to oversee your disaster recovery strategy for
all of your remote sites and branch offices.
For configuration options, pricing and availability please allow DSS, Inc. to put together
a detailed solution designed to meet your project criteria and earn your business.
Benefits of virtual storage servers
Cost-effective replication - Deploy virtual storage servers to replicate data back to the corporate data center without adding
additional hardware or file replication software by leveraging server virtualization deployments at your remote and branch
offices. Utilization - Turn the storage left behind in your servers following the virtualization of your application environment into a virtual
SAN and share it with all of your applications. Green storage - Transform the always spinning disks in your servers into a virtual SAN and implement the ultimate green
storage solution without purchasing additional hardware that requires data center footprint, power, and cooling.
