Virtualizacijа has grasped servers and SHD

Servers (32 %), data storage systems (SHD) (24 %) and possibility of reduction of expenses (10,3 %) – here with what, first of all, associates virtualizacijа at the European IT Experts interrogated by company NettApp. Reduction of costs (24,8 %) and flexibility of management (20,3 %) have been named among the basic priorities in motivation of the companies at transition to the virtual environment.

Andreas Kenig. (Andreas Kenig), the senior vice-president and the general director of division NetApp EMEA, considers that superiority of servers in this associative to a number is absolutely natural, as virtualizacijа servers defines, how IT Managers project and realise IT Decisions. That on the second place there were data storage systems, in its opinion, confrms the tendency to transformation of a data storage in a key variable of the equation for virtualizovannoi environments.

Respondents thus notice that SHD in virtual environments should possess a number of characteristics. Among the most important - high readiness (21,9 %), productivity (21,9 %), emergency restooration (18,8 %) and efficiency SHD (17,7 %). It is necessary to place the basic emphasis On these parametres in any virtualizovannoi to environment, - makes comments on Kenig. – the Enterprises which use virtual infrastructures in the activity, should be assured that they can quickly and effectively provide a continuity of business processes.

At transition to the virtual environment of the company count on economy and flexibility in management.

As have shown results of questioning, the dominant role in increase of efficiency of storehouses in the virtual environment is played by two technologies: dedublikacijа (31,7 %) and technology snyеpshotov (instant pictures) (26,3 %). Really, according to NetApp, with the help dedublikacii data-processing centres can reduce to 50 % requirement for disk space for cores SHD wnd to 95 % - for reserve.

Let's remind that at technology virtualizacii in Europe traditionally strong positions. As recent research IDC, use of this technology in Europe not only essentially influences the server market, but also is (and will be) basic at designing and management of data-processing centres (COD). According to IDC, in 2008 for the first time in history the market of x86 servers in Europe it has been sold more than virtual cars, than physical. The new alignment of forces is promoted by crisis, and in the future rupture between the given categories will increase only.
