Benefits of Virtualization of Storage
• Pool Disks from Different Vendors
• Just in time Fulfillment• Tier Storage of different
types• Allocate on demand• Increase performance• Highly Available

How much do you think you need? “A lot... and even more next year”
Disk Allocation
Fulfill in small chunks► Just-in-time► “Thin” provisioned

DataCore Cache – An Application ViewHardware Testbed: 1 Database Server connected via
a.) Fibre Channel to a NetApp FAS 2020 equipped with 12x300GB Fibre Channel Drivesb.) Fibre Channel to a DataCore Server accessing an Fujitsu Eternus DX 80 with 12x 300GB SAS Drives
Software Testbed: Informix CRM DB with 8.8 Million Records
Tested Operations:1.) Select of a customer profile using sequential scan, reading 8.8 Millionen records, no index.2.) Store result set of 750,000 records in a temporary table on disk.
The test was repeated 3 times for each storage configuration.The DB was stopped and started before each test.
Results for DB Server attached to NetApp FAS 2020
Total runtime of the Task = 13min
Total runtime of the Task = 2min 12sec!
Performance Gain 591%

Conclusion
Storage Virtualization is the next wave of virtualization
This transformation will be innovative, and possibly even disruptive.
Your future architecting decisions should think of storage as Flexible, Elastic even, and in alignment with your other business and infrastructure goals.
