22. STORAGE VIRTUALIZATION LEADERSHIP
 Create a virtualized pool
of storage
 Centralize day-to-day
administration with a
single management
view
 File virtualization groups
file systems
 Enable new features on
older storage
 Adds no complexity

23. GLOBAL-ACTIVE DEVICE
 Global active-active, cluster disk
volumes.
 Support for iSCSI
 Active-active access for read and
write, local read preferred
 Storage failover is transparent,
non disruptive for hosts and
applications
 Easy and user friendly
management
 VMware, HyperV, Oracle RAC
 No Failover = No Risk and No
Delays Everything keeps Running!
