Finding Space

With increasing requirements for storage, storage virtualisation provides efficiency, simplicity and makes the most of the storage you already own.

Storage Virtualisation is the pooling of physical storage from multiple network storage devices into what appears to be a single storage device that is managed from a central console.

The management of multiple storage devices can be tedious and time-consuming. Storage virtualisation helps the storage administrator perform tasks over multiple storage devices, including backup, archiving, and recovery more easily, and in less time, by disguising the actual complexity of the SAN; you can identify and migrate hot spots within infrastructure to the best performing storage to meet the demands of your environment.

Different manufacturers’ storage devices can all be recognised as a single integrated pool. Data that is required most frequently is stored on the highest performing storage hardware and lower priority data is stored on the lowest performing hardware, to maximise the efficiency of you infrastructure and maximise the utilisation of your assets.
