Consolidation of data center assets has become a trend in many IT environments, providing benefits such as improved hardware resource utilization, easier management,and lower costs.
For storage, consolidation is accomplished by moving data off of a direct attached storage (DAS)to inside the server onto a shared pool of storage in a storage area network (SAN).
Read this solution brief to see how server consolidation has become popular thanks to technologies like VMware ESX Server and GSX Server. These "virtual machine" products consolidate server data images onto fewer hardware platforms which improves IT efficiency.
