Unlocking VMware With a Storage Virtual Appliance – SvSAN Demonstration

April 10, 2012 in SvSAN, video, Webinar

Date: April 4th 2012

Description

VMware® users need a flexible, robust and cost effective shared storage solution for their virtual server environments. Shared storage systems are required in order to leverage the real benefits of vSphere (such as VMware HA, VMotion TM and DRS TM), but are often seen as out of reach, too complicated or expensive for many organizations.

Prior to the development of Storage Virtual Appliances, customers needed expensive and complex external SAN solutions to enable high-value features such as VMware HA, VMotion and Dynamic Resource Scheduler (DRS). This server based storage typically costs a fraction of what an external SAN costs and is much easier to manage.

As part of the webinar we demonstrate fast deployment and creation of shared storage, ease of use through vCenter integration as well as high availability. As part of the discussion we also highlight the benefits of Storage Virtual Appliances and why SvSAN is a favorite in SMB and multi-site environments
