Storage NetworkingStorage Networking focuses upon virtualizing the storage and the SAN while collapsing and simplifying the management and performance of storage. Most Recently added Storage Networking Resources: (See More...)Is Virtualization Solutions Delivery Fundamentally Changing?
It is clear that once virtualization started delivering hard dollar CAPEX and OPEX savings to IT executives that these executives wanted this trend of “more for less” to continue. Most IT organizations are far from 100% virtualized, and there are still substantial cost savings to be gained from further virtualization. However, forward thinking vendors (like… Virtual Disk EncryptionIn the article End-to-End Virtual Machine Backup I mentioned the new VMware Workstation 7.0 feature that creates an encrypted disk but in reality it is an encrypted virtual machine, which also implies encrypting the virtual disk. This one option to VMware Workstation is something that is needed within VMware vSphere as well as the other… 2009 In RetrospectQuite a bit has gone on in our industry in the last year. While this is not intended to be a comprehensive review of all that has occurred, we hope that we have captured the important events that have shaped virtualization and cloud computing. Vertical Integration Returns – Impact on VMwareThere are two very recent vendor initiatives that hearken back to the days of single vendor tightly integrated systems. The first is Oracle's pending acquisition of Sun. The second example which has potentially far more impact upon VMware is the recently announced EMC/Cisco Vblocks. EMC/Cisco/VMware Vblock Reference Architecture – Some Storage Details Finally Emerge for Vblock 1The problem is that neither VMware, nor any disk array vendor has explicitly announced support for it. EMC Hints at Storage Technology Breakthrough in VMworld DemoThis technique operates completely transparent to the vSphere environment, as only a single LUN is presented to the two hosts. So a single vMotion and a “logical” storage vMotion (actually hyper-speed synchronous dual write) are combined into a single vMotion which only takes a few minutes or seconds to execute. FCoE Update – The Good News and The Bad NewsThe number one reason to adopt FCoE today is to reduce heat, energy, cable plant and space. Data center networks are converging, but are not converged. Xsigo IT Survey Reveals Need for I/O Virtualization in Today’s Virtualized Data Center
Given the potential cost savings, higher asset utilization, and performance and availability improvements of these emerging technologies. It is clear that I/O is going to be virtualized and that it will happen rather quickly. I/O Virtualization Shines at VMworld 2009I/O virtualization prominent at VMworld 2009. Whether it can displace Cisco at the top of the rack remains to be seen. |
