Storage, specifically virtual storage, is viewed with as many different perspectives as there as vendors and consultants who talk about it. As a value-added reseller (VAR), systems integrator or consultant, you're sure to have your own opinions about virtualization -- which we hope you will share in the Sound Off section below. To start you off, author Tom Clark gathers and provides the storage virtualization opinions of different pundits in his book Storage Virtualization: Technologies for Simplifying Data Storage and Management.
The idea behind this compilation is to give industry observers, analysts, technologists and customers an opportunity to express their views on storage virtualization and its future capabilities. The observations vary considerably, as one might expect, given the broad circumference of the subject and its impact on diverse aspects of data storage.
The editors of SearchStorageChannel.com have broken these tips and opinions in to indiviudal chapters as outlined below.
