Storage Virtualization
There are three layers of virtualisation. At the top is desktop virtualisation enabling people to move from device to device but being able to access a standard set of applications. At the next level is server virtualisation, where applications can be moved from server to server without regard to the underlying hardware. These layers of virtualisation insulate users from the details of how their systems are installed and delivered and make operational management much simpler for IT departments.
The next layer of virtualisation is storage virtualisation, which means users, applications and servers are insulated from changes to the physical storage devices and storage technologies being used. This means that data can be migrated to more efficient storage systems over time without causing disruption to the servers, applications and users who access that data. It also enables better and more efficient utilization of the data storage capacity, and it simplifies the overall management of data storage across an organization.
