Recently, during a trip, I sat with some partners in a Paris restaurant, and we chatted about wine, and virtualization. - Yes, that is, if you will
I love restaurants where the guest can bring their own wine. This is really rare and would be in this exclusive / special restaurant certainly was not tolerated. We therefore had to be content with what was at the wine list.
What did this have to do now with virtualization? - A lot, when we talk about storage virtualization.
IT users looking for greater flexibility, more choices and try to avoid hardware limitations. There is such a great, free choice of options today largely for servers and desktops, and . Thanks to the proliferation of virtualization software When it comes to storage, hardware manufacturers and restaurant owners to act - they force us out of their "home-made products" option and selling exotic products / things for a horrendous price / with huge profit margins. We free software from DataCore The manufacturer's captive customers and decouple the virtual infrastructure of the underlying disks. When DataCore is: Everyone brings the wine he wants and everyone focuses on the storage of their choice. I ask this: "Bring Your Own Storage ... BYOS" ..

's Virtualization is not just about consolidation, it's about using software can be flexible, sustainable infrastructure to create, develop and change. And it is about to choose the hardware and use free time to, so as to increase the investment return on an IT infrastructure from the current level.
There is a pent-up demand from users, the upgrades or new hardware required and makes the hardware manufacturers hope. According to the pundits moved to the storage market in 2010 again. But that does nothing for the traditional hardware-dominated infrastructure. There are clouds in the trend, virtual desktops and storage virtualization, which demonstrates the growing reluctance of users to the dependence of physical infrastructure. act
Customers today cautious than before the recession and are often more economical than necessary. They create budget cushion against the aging hardware. Are the times hard and the budget just is "push in hardware", as used in the performance and capacity planning is not a good option anymore. To ensure business continuity and increase business agility, then the infrastructure problem differently resolved - too long, users were sitting in the manufacturer's trap!
I am convinced that this time a turning point for the storage hardware and end the " hardware push in 'era be.
company are tired of choosing their storage from a limited product map, and to pay overpriced. You want to use existing flexible and purchase a virtually unlimited selection have. You want to be back master of its own storage, and use the memory of their choice. With the software-based storage virtualization can we say to them: " BYOS - Bring Your Own Storage and use the economic benefits."
storage virtualization software can do almost anything, but whether they will ever affect wine list remains open.
