Server virtualization poses unique challenges for data storage administrators - not the least of which is tracking the relationships between virtualized servers and storage resources, delivering consistently high service levels that avoid performance hotspots, and offering flexible data protection to reduce risk. Additionally, while all major networked storage protocols work with virtual machines, some are better than others for certain environments.
IBM Storage and VMware have teamed to forge deep integration between their products for enhanced features, usability and superior cost of ownership. The two companies have collected over 800 VMware-IBM storage configurations in a reference database, which will prove invaluable as organizations look for what really works. Most recently, IBM announced broad support for VMware's vStorage API for Array Integration.
In this 2012 kickoff webcast, learn how IBM storage virtualization offers unmatched flexibility for VMware server environments.
