According to IDC, stored information is growing at a rate of 30 percent per year, and 90 percent of this new information is stored digitally.
Server virtualization and consolidation are driving the need for more efficient storage platforms. That’s why it’s important to understand how the right storage choices can unlock server virtualization potential.
Server virtualization brings your company more efficient, more available IT infrastructure. But it also changes storage requirements. Traditional controller-based SANs often can hold you back from realizing the full potential of virtualization. HP P4000 G2 SAN solutions (formerly LeftHand) can help:
- Eliminate storage bottlenecks associated with a virtualized server environment and the growth of VMs
- Enable high availability and disaster recovery with an all-inclusive enterprise feature set
- Reduce costs as you boost storage efficiencies
Virtualization opens up a new range of possibilities for data centers. These include higher server utilization with lower costs, the economies of server consolidation, and high availability and disaster recovery supported with built-in features. Additional benefits include performance management through dynamic workload balancing, as well as ease of management through the harnessing of all servers as a single, uniform pool of resources.
Virtualization is changing the IT landscape by enabling more efficient, adaptive IT infrastructures. HP LeftHand SANs promote this transformation, making them an ideal fit for the next-generation virtualized data center. HP LeftHand SANs help you drive down costs by increasing storage utilization. They help you work within budget constraints by allowing you to purchase storage only when you need it, not months or years in advance. With HP LeftHand SANs, every storage purchase adds capacity and performance, making the most of your storage investments and avoiding the bottlenecks of monolithic storage systems. Built-in high availability and disaster recovery features enhance server virtualization capabilities to deliver betterbusiness continuity—without disruption. The ease of management that HP LeftHand SANs provide means that both server and storage administrators can manage the SAN, helping to make the most of limited administrator resources.
