Virtualization powered by converged infrastructure
Organisations of all sizes turn to virtualisation to reduce costs and increase the efficiency, availability, and flexibility of their IT organisations. Many of these organizations are now also counting on virtualisation solutions to help transition their data centres to private cloud infrastructures that provide IT services on demand.
Storage can be an accelerator or inhibitor to achieving the benefits of a virtualised server, client, or cloud environment. You need storage optimised for virtualised environments that delivers the availability, efficiency, manageability, and performance required.
  • Performance to increase virtual machine consolidation ratios and meet virtual desktop user experience expectations
  • Efficiency to handle the storage growth that comes with virtual environments and to maximise resource utilisation
  • Availability that enhances the high availability capabilities of the virtualisation platforms to eliminate planned and unplanned downtime and ensure rapid recovery from disasters
  • Simplified Management to simplify the convergence of the physical and virtual across storage, servers, and networking to deliver the flexibility and agility of virtualisation
