Storage is still seen as a "putting a shotgun in my wallet and look the other way"<BR/><BR/>No wonder guys at IBM,et al started with Storage/APERI project where possibly UDC, Utility Data Computing, might take off where you'd have bunch of SATA disks which cost peanuts running your Mission Critical Systems and indeed Virtualization has something to do with storage as it's moving rapidly into production where SAN/NAS (vendor would be HP, EMC etc) etc plays a crucial role when it comes to data management.<BR/><BR/>And if within 3-5 years there is such standard and where IBM (no wonder they didn't invite EMC,HP in time) would offer a UDSN* (Utility Data Storage and Networking) and it would be easy to replace a Storage hotch-potch (like what Anil saw) with a single of dual vendor and Virtualization.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes deploying a breakthrough technology like virtualization (as indeed pinted out by Anil) which (immediately and) <B>drastically</B> reduces your TCO is a good excuse to clear up other mess which you into as well. ;-)<BR/><BR/>*I made it up :-)Tarry Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09858310833068039066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7209606.post-1137563675451125352006-01-17T21:54:00.000-08:002006-01-17T21:54:00.000-08:00Sorry, I have no insight into what big guys think!...Sorry, I have no insight into what big guys think!<BR/><BR/>In my opinion, end users don't get any compelling value from current storage virtualization offerings like what they get from server virtualization.<BR/><BR/>Storage vendors are using virtualization either for penetrating their competitors' accounts or developing long-term customer dependency.Anil Guptahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04626638497955200142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7209606.post-1137508301553066122006-01-17T06:31:00.000-08:002006-01-17T06:31:00.000-08:00Don't understand why all those big guys in storage...Don't understand why all those big guys in storage industry keep on talking about virtulization, seems this is the next big thing.
