Overview :
"iSCSI is a flexible and powerful storage area networking (SAN) protocol that delivers superior capabilities and benefits across all market segments. In addition to providing enterprise-class data availability and performance, the iSCSI protocol enables breakthrough virtual storage designs that parallel the advanced designs of server virtualization technologies such as VMware® Infrastructure 3. Enterprises of all sizes are building flexible storage infrastructures using iSCSI and advanced virtualization technologies that let them allocate and shift SAN resources dynamically in response to the demands of their virtualized server environments. This white paper describes a virtualized infrastructure that applies storage and server virtualization technologies to cost-effectively achieve a flexible, high performance, dynamic IT infrastructure that is simple to manage and scale."

Virtualized iSCSI SANs are changing customer experiences of how simple an enterprise storage infrastructure can be to deploy, manage and grow. They are uniquely positioned to inspire broad adoption of virtualized server technologies by reducing technical complexity and cost barriers imposed by classic storage area network architectures, without compromising the performance, scalability and resiliency requirements of a virtualized IT infrastructure. As a result, organizations of all sizes are now deploying EqualLogic PS Series virtualized iSCSI SANs as the backbone of their virtualized infrastructure.

VMware Infrastructure makes more efficient use of a company’s existing resources, reducing costs and helping companies respond to business needs faster with a virtualized IT infrastructure. Characteristically, both VMware Infrastructure and storage virtualization provide key features for reducing complexity and increasing flexibility, including virtualized asset management, incremental online growth, workload migration and load balancing. The complementary affects of Dell EqualLogic virtualized iSCSI SANs and VMware virtualization technologies make possible a simple, cost-effective, and dynamic enterprise-class IT environment.
