• Maximizing the Potential of Virtualization and the Cloud: How to Unlock the Traditional Storage Bottleneck


• Gartner predicts virtualization will continue to be the most change-driving catalyst for IT infrastructure through 2013. Meanwhile, the next evolution of virtualization - cloud computing - continues to gain traction in HPC and enterprise environments for its ability to maximize resources with minimal investment. However, virtualization and cloud computing face a dire challenge - the bottleneck of traditional, "scale-up" SAN and NAS storage. In virtualized or cloud environments traditional storage yields a complicated mish-mash of storage volumes, which only grows in complexity as virtualized workloads increase, requiring additional costs for hardware and staff. Simply put, the full potential of virtualization and cloud computing cannot be realized until new, "scale-out" storage technologies are deployed to unlock the traditional storage bottleneck and deliver the promise of virtualization and cloud computing. Mr. Grocott will detail the evolution of virtualization and cloud computing, demonstrating how "scale-out" storage can maximize the potential virtualization and cloud computing.
