Abstract: When creating the specifications for virtualization or cloud projects, storage is often regarded as a necessary evil. The virtualization team does not have sufficient knowledge of the enterprise storage infrastructure to fully understand the projectís implication on storage. On the other side, the enterprise storage team cannot completely fathom the future impact of virtualization and cloud on the storage environment. This challenge is magnified by the inability to exactly predict where the virtualization and cloud journey will lead the enterprise. Will there be desktop virtualization, once the server virtualization project is complete? Will there eventually be a self-service hybrid or private cloud? Is cloud-bursting feasible? |
