Storage Virtualization

Storage Virtualization pools multiple networked storage devices into what appears to be a single storage device. This results in simplified administration and increased storage capacity for end users. Backups, data archiving, and data recovery become simpler, faster and more efficient tasks.

Using standard iSCSI protocols on the SAN allows both XenSource and VMware products, available through MIS Centers, to address data storage as primary storage for the virtual servers. The servers are presented with standard iSCSI logical volumes from the virtualized pool. This allows for high performance and highly available storage arrays to be shared by multiple servers.

XenSource and VMware iSCSI support facilitates Disaster Recovery solutions for virtualized environments. By implementing iSCSI [need to clarify a bit simpler what this means, how does a user implement iSCSI], end users benefits include simpler,

Disaster recovery configuration and maintenance
Data backup and restore capabilities
Data storage consolidation and storage virtualization.

MIS Center professionals will work with your organization to size, design and install the proper virtualized storage solution for your business. We offer full implementation services for SAN, storage concentrators and other components needed.

MIS Center has partnered with Stonefly, Inc. for our primary SAN / Storage Virtualization solutions.
