Centralize and Islands: Siegfried Betke talking

article from the latest issue of SME IT 12/10:

the demands on the availability of systems and a growing desire for higher data security and ease of administration, companies increasingly choose to virtualize their IT infrastructure. To select the desired objectives of such Reorganization actually achieve, you must also choose and organize the storage systems to be paid high attention ...
[...] A centralized repository allows, therefore, utilize existing resources better and to eliminate remote islands of storage, the current storage needs of applications' needs and reduce the administrative burden. "Can be For true high availability, the hardware must be redundant, so synchronously mirrored by a software layer .": [...] Siegfried Betke, Director Central Europe at Datacore Software

The availability of systems and applications is more important, the more tasks a company handles IT-based. If these are in a storage virtualization mirrored on redundant hardware in different locations, users achieve high availability and enhanced data security beyond normal backup procedure. If a system such as due to hardware damage, provides the mirrored counterpart for the uninterrupted continuing operation of business processes. "The necessary software for the reflection layer can also a virtual server to be installed " explains Betke . Often this will simply drive space available to a high-performance virtual storage network, to the left to implement memory functions which must be bought with a price at a specific hardware solution. Before purchasing a new system it is worthwhile to review the potential of existing infrastructure. [...] read

While driving the Data Center is off. About 10 to 15 minutes required by the IT to be operational again. Then it may indeed represent even complex processes such as virtualization and SAN storage and data management. Customers can experience firsthand what happened, such as a failover if one of the plug is, or as a storage pool functions ....

"To ensure that the storage centralization their total effect, it must be equipped with intelligence," says Kramer. As the best approach to virtualization have been established. Kramer & Crew advantage in this area for years, the storage virtualization software from DataCore, "SAN symphony" and "SAN Melody" ...
