Multi-Vendor Product Hybrid storage Virtualization technology is not materialized on execution

One of the features of the

Storage virtualization technology is virtualization storage and management from multiple vendors. In fact, open systems are one of the main features of vendor discussions at the beginning of storage virtualization. The industry has never had the best concept of storing virtualization and the full range of solutions that dominate the industry. However, server virtualization technology may end this situation.

The Hybrid storage virtualization technology for multi-vendor products looks good on paper, but it is not materialized on execution. One of the failures of storage virtualization vendors is that they will focus on cost savings in storage virtualization. The message they deliver is that you can buy the cheapest storage system, so you no longer need storage services (snapshots, replication), and vendors that offer these expensive services.

It is true that you can actually reduce costs. But the reality is that simple management and implementation is a bigger problem for most customers. It seems to be safer, more reliable, and simpler to use a solution provided by the storage vendor with a regulatory control system. In addition, regulatory control system storage vendors are starting to add storage virtualization capabilities, such as automatic compact configuration and data disaggregation (using all available disks to create disk volumes)

However, there are two key features in the real world that may alter the process of storage virtualization, and adapt the infrastructure of your hybrid storage offerings to more environments. The first is the ability of vendors, and more importantly, the need to move data between solid-state storage and different types of storage. Data mobility, in the multi-vendor environment is no longer just a cost-saving advantage, but also improve performance advantages.

Of course, data movement between data tiers is more valuable in some regulatory control system vendors and storage virtualization support provided in a hybrid vendor environment. Although regulatory control system vendors may indicate that there is no single vendor at any one level in any data center to make absolute optimal system performance. Storage Virtualization Technology offers great flexibility: Choosing the fastest solid-state storage system for the current task, if high performance is your ultimate requirement. The second key capability of

is the use of virtual machine monitoring programs. The first generation of hybrid virtualization system software needs to be run on a dedicated server or loaded with a dedicated device. Developers are concerned about the development of fault-tolerant transfer and cluster functions, so that another server to obtain and manage the other variable. The way in which the hypervisor is stored means that the process of storing virtualization technology is to provide the hypervisor itself, or a VM on a virtual host. This allows you to take advantage of the availability and scale of virtualized platforms that have been built into the server.

Finally you still need to have the right and purposeful purchase of the right storage system to save costs. In the case of performance sensitivity, you may need a small solid-state device as feedback, but most cases chooseInstead of just focusing on performance, virtual machines need a midrange, cost-effective array.

give this to the regulatory control storage vendor for resolution? Still won't work because not every company's infrastructure is suitable for hybrid storage vendors. In most cases, the competition for storage virtualization software will continue to grow, regardless of many software and hardware companies, and may become a contradiction between the hardware and software of large companies.
