Once servers are virtualized, many IT administrators come face-to-face with the challenges that this new environment presents. There are unique utilization, performance, management and availability requirements that must be met in order to optimize your infrastructure. You will find that, as storage environments become more complex, it can become expensive and difficult to manage the disparate systems. And, you will learn that the advanced high-availability and disaster-recovery features of products such as VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer require the support of shared storage. In short, you will discover that server virtualization requires virtualized storage in order to fully live up to its promise. Virtualized storage for virtual servers Server virtualization demands storage that can support concurrent workloads without performance degradation. It calls for storage capacity and performance that can scale without disruptions. It needs virtual disks to remain online during server or site failures so that features such as VMware High Availability (HA) and Microsoft Hyper-V live migration have continuous access to storage while executing failover of virtual machines. And it calls for storage that is simple and easy to manage. HP LeftHand SAN Solutions meet all those requirements and can drive your costs down and dramatically improve resource utilization. Certification HP LeftHand P4000 SANs are certified to work with VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer software. These simple iSCSI SAN solutions were designed to work seamlessly in server and desktop virtualization environments.
