Flexible Virtualization With EqualLogic PS Series Internet SCSI Storage Arrays

Internet SCSI (iSCSI) is a flexible and powerful storage area network (SAN) protocol that can deliver superior capabilities and benefits for enterprises of all sizes. In addition to providing enterprise-class data availability and performance, the iSCSI protocol enables breakthrough virtual storage designs that parallel the advanced designs of server virtualization technologies such as VMware® Infrastructure 3.

Enterprises of all sizes are building flexible storage
infrastructures using iSCSI and advanced virtualization technologies that let them allocate and shift SAN resources dynamically in response to the demands of their virtualized server environments.  This article describes a virtualized infrastructure that applies storage and server virtualization technologies to cost-effectively achieve a flexible, high-performance, dynamic IT infrastructure that is simple to manage and scale.
