 This presentation examines the issues associated with deploying and managing storage in virtualised server infrastructures. Because server virtualisation uses shared resources, careful consideration must be given to external storage connectivity, both from SAN options as well as data provisioning methodologies. Backup and restore operations represent one of the more challenging issues to be addressed because the interaction of backup from one or more applications may interfere with other applications during their normal operation. At the end of the day, Gartner holds the view that virtualised server infrastructures require users to rethink and re-architect storage related activities. |
Key Issues:
|
- What are the best practices in the deployment and management of storage for virtualised server environments?
- How do/will existing and future technologies/products best fit in storage management architectures?
