Virtualization and Automation: Why Both are Required to Simplify Storage Management August 26, 2004 @ 12:30 p.m. Eastern/9:30 a.m. Pacific Duration: 30 minutes Register: http://eletters.webseminarslive.com/zd1/cts?d=70-293-1-248-524892-5599-1 Virtualization and automation are all around us. We unknowingly use them every day in our servers and PCs, and managing networks would be impossible without them. Despite decades of success in Operating Systems and Networking, virtualization and automation are only now being applied to data storage. The concept of virtualizing storage allows administrators to abstract underlying hardware resources such as controllers, disks, storage networking, and cache to allow for dynamic expansion and rebalancing of storage resources without disrupting services. However, virtualization alone creates a new layer for the administrator to manage, usually requiring a complex calculus of multiple dimensions. This is a problem for administrators looking to simplify and reduce operations - not confuse and increase them. Automation is the tool that makes virtualized storage practical. Combining automation with virtualized storage empowers administrators and architects to deploy and maintain far greater quantities and qualities of storage without increasing operational overhead. Automation can work overtime - all of the time - to make the necessary adjustments to optimize and balance storage workloads over hardware assets. As workloads change and deployments expand, intelligent automated systems can adapt to become self-tuning and self-adapting.
