Storage virtualization
Reduce costs and complexity with storage virtualization. Virtualized storage lets you centralize management to simplify mixed environments and uncover hidden capacity.
Overview
Proven storage virtualization
When deploying new storage technologies like Flash, storage-class memory (SCM), NVMe, containers, and hybrid multicloud, it is also important to optimize your data security. The ideal solution will integrate into your current environment, fit within your budget, and modernize your infrastructure.
Benefits
Embrace
Embrace new storage capacity so that it is pooled with existing storage, simplifying administration and improving efficiency.
Enhance
Enhance existing storage and data security with enterprise-class data storage solutions and services. Improve performance by using Easy Tier to move active data to flash.
Extend
Extend existing storage into new deployments such as containers or hybrid cloud. Add value to your storage, extending its life and avoiding new investment.
Storage virtualization software solutions
Virtualization for public cloud
Replicate or migrate heterogeneous storage systems between on-premises and your hybrid multicloud infrastructure for consistent data management and disaster recovery strategies, and improved cyber resiliency. Enable cloud-based DevOps with easy replication of data from on-premises sources.
