Ensures Continuously Available System Resources to All Servers – Physical or Virtual
By virtualizing enterprise network storage at the block level, Dell Compellent Storage Center is able to create a pool of continuously available, shared storage resources. One advantage that the pooling of storage resources provides to the users is that by spreading read/write operations across all of the drives instead of separately, it enables multiple requests to be simultaneously processed - enhancing system performance. Looking to spend less time managing your storage? Another advantage that storage virtualization provides to the user is the ability to create hundreds of virtual volumes, which are then used to support virtual server platforms and to optimize virtual application placement, all within a matter of seconds.
How Storage Virtualization Can Enhance Your System Performance:
- Create any-sized virtual volumes – Eliminating the need to allocate drives to specific servers or perform complicated tasks such as capacity planning or performance tuning
- Simplified storage provisioning – Able to present network storage to servers without drive allocation, since Storage Center will intelligently provision storage for you
- Eliminates the limitations of physical ports – Instead treats multiple virtual ports as a single port for increased port capacity, disk bandwidth, I/O connectivity and more.
- Minimized disruptions and downtime - Able to dynamically scale your storage pool and upgrade your system without interruption
