In this part of the Storage Virtualization Showdown series, I’ll be discussing storage virtualization capabilities that enhance the commoditization of storage
Why Data Mobility?
Before we can take advantage of the performance and technological enhancements of new storage equipment, and benefit from the better cost structures of more efficient and dense hardware, we must . . . → Read More: Storage Virtualization Showdown (Part 3): Data Mobility

Storage virtualization isn’t new, it has been around in one form or another since the invention of the filesystem. The focus of this series, however is on storage virtualization within the SAN fabric. The primary requirement for a vendor to be included in this “showdown” is the ability to virtualize 3rd party storage systems. . . . → Read More: Storage Virtualization Showdown (NetApp, IBM, EMC and HDS)

Final Round: Data Mobility and Solution Longevity
This post ends the series where I’ve been comparing appliance based deduplication with Data Domain vs. Simpana Native Duplication and explaining why I think native deduplication is the best approach. If you haven’t read the earlier posts in this series, they can be found here:

Round 3: Data Invulnerability vs. Epic Data Indestructability
Ok, so the term “Epic Data Indestructability” doesn’t actually exist, but I needed something for a section title and CommVault doesn’t have clever, made-up marketing term like “Data Invulnerability” to describe the resiliency built into the Simpana platform. The availability of protected data should be a . . . → Read More: Data Domain vs. Simpana Dedup: Round #3
