It accomplished this by working with its partner, MapleTronics Computers, to implement FalconStor Software's and Network Storage Server (NSS) and Virtual Tape Library (VTL) plus VMware. http://www.itworld.com/storage/68106/mennonite-mutual-aid-uses-storage-virtualization-ensure-cost-effective-business-contin#comments Storage Virtualization Best practice storage virtualization Mon, 18 May 2009 22:21:41 -0400 FalconStor 68106 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/virtualization/68067/virtualizing-storage Storage virtualization is really nothing more than taking multiple storage devices, and abstracting them so that the end user can more easily manage a larger amount of storage without having to deal with the complexities of multiple devices. Storage from multiple devices are combined and appear as a single resource. http://www.itworld.com/virtualization/68067/virtualizing-storage#comments Virtualization News storage virtualization Mon, 18 May 2009 13:07:27 -0400 danblacharski 68067 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/storage/66074/virtualized-storage-and-windows-server-2008 See how Dell can assist companies with Windows Server® 2008 implementations.

At the same time, however, virtualization introduces some new concerns. http://www.itworld.com/channel/57852/taking-your-customers-next-level-virtualization#comments Channel Best practice channel reseller storage virtualization virtualization Fri, 14 Nov 2008 13:22:36 -0500 benjolley 57852 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/storage/55732/three-degrees-storage-virtualization Over the years, virtualization has been employed in almost every facet of storage technology: disk, controller, array, SAN, LAN and even host (think logical volume manager). At the risk of oversimplification, I'd suggest that there are three broad categories: inside the box, outside the box and tape emulation. Each of these offers distinct benefits as well as some commonalities. http://www.itworld.com/storage/55732/three-degrees-storage-virtualization#comments Storage Virtualization Opinion storage virtualization Mon, 06 Oct 2008 16:34:49 -0400 ITworld staff 55732 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/storage/55730/closer-look-storage-virtualization Managing disk storage was once simple: If we needed more space, we got a bigger disk drive. But data storage needs grew, so we started adding multiple disk drives. Finding and managing these became harder and took more time, so we developed RAID, network-attached storage and storage-area networks. Still, managing and maintaining thousands of disk drives became an ever more onerous task. The latest answer to this dilemma is storage virtualization. http://www.itworld.com/storage/55730/closer-look-storage-virtualization#comments Storage Virtualization Opinion storage virtualization Mon, 06 Oct 2008 16:26:21 -0400 ITworld staff 55730 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/storage/55526/hp-buy-lefthand-networks-360-million HP will buy LeftHand Networks for $360 million to fill in its storage virtualization and iSCSI lines with products for medium-size companies and remote offices and branches. http://www.itworld.com/storage/55526/hp-buy-lefthand-networks-360-million#comments Business Storage Virtualization News HP iSCSI LeftHand Networks SAN storage virtualization Wed, 01 Oct 2008 15:04:15 -0400 ITworld staff 55526 at http://www.itworld.com
