The Challenge
When highly virtualized 3PAR® Utility Storage is combined with robust server virtualization, the result is a complete Utility Computing solution. Server and storage consolidation promises to deliver cost savings and operational efficiency in the data center. But consolidation using traditional architecture may not produce the desired results. With traditional architecture, applications are tied to physical servers, and capacity allocation is tied to physical disk drives, resulting in:
- Poor Provisioning
- Poor asset utilization
- Management Complexity
