    Storage Virtualization… what are you waiting for?

    Woj 270003B7NV | | Comments (3) | Visits (9328)

    Tweet
    Your storage capacity isn’t virtualized?   Don’t worry you’re not alone.   The concept of virtualization of IT resources is broadly understood, however the deployment and usage of virtualization isn’t as balanced across the datacenter.   Virtualization of compute –or- server runtime is   commonplace, widely referred to as virtual machines (VM’s) but storage, network, desktops, and other areas that make up the datacenter can just as easily be ‘virtualized’ and deliver value.   In this article, I’m going to outline why every datacenter should...

    Adam Young 50886CSNXQ | | Visits (1477)

This requires a recovery point objective (RPO) generated by your data protection utility with a timestamp close after that transaction or version. The less data you recreate after any failure, the less time the recovery point objective (RTO) takes to get back up and running. Both the RPO and RTO are integral parts of any disaster recovery....
