Traditionally, virtual machines and SANs have lacked advanced integration, making ongoing management, data protection and disaster recovery more complex. VMware and Dell are leading the way in delivering automated tools integrating virtual servers and virtual storage together to achieve a comprehensive virtual datacenter solution.

Listen to this podcast to learn how vStorage-enabled SANs can:

• Coordinate VMware- and SAN-based snapshots to achieve scalable, hypervisor-aware, online data protection.
  
• Simplify and automate disaster recovery workflows.
  
• Accelerate data management tasks like Storage VMotion and virtual machine creation and provisioning.
  
• Reduce storage requirements with integrated data deduplication and thin provisioning.
  
• Enhance I/O multipathing for greater performance and scalability.
