Enabling The Virtual Data Center - Simply and Cost Effectively
David Rico, Dell Account Executive presents Virtual Data Center
Sacramento, CA, June 11, 2009. Dell introduces new virtual data center, that will be simply and cost effectively for small and medium size businesses. New Systems Telecommunications, Inc., was invited for this seminar-event among other leading telecommunication companies. The seminar was conducted by David S. Kirkman, Business Solutions Strategist. Besides technical information, he clearly stated the message: “Companies spend 80% of the budget for maintenance, and only 20% for new systems that will increase company’s profit. We want reverse it, or, at least, make it 50/50. At the end of the seminar David Rico, Dell Account Executive, brought up several options for New Systems Telecommunications, Inc., in order to reduce our maintenance costs. That will allow us to lessen costs for international calling, shrink international calling rates for customers, and update our data center.

After all, virtualization has become an essential data center technology, allowing IT administrators to consolidate server infrastructure and reduce costs while enhancing service levels. New Systems Telecommunications is advancing toward the next step, which is to couple storage virtualization with server virtualization in a highly available, scalable, and manageable environment. Building the foundation for these next-generation data center infrastructures requires well-integrated server and storage virtualization platforms.

Historically, the adoption of storage virtualization technologies in SAN environments has been limited, primarily to enterprise data centers needing a tool for online data migration between heterogeneous storage environments. This add-on design allows for heterogeneous storage and data movement, but does not simplify management of the configuration. Most of these designs have been implemented as external appliances sitting within the storage area network. These devices generally add more complexity to an already complex environment – introducing additional points of management within the SAN, masking value-added features of the attached arrays, and limiting performance and scalability of the consolidated SAN storage pool to a single gateway hosting the backend storage. In the iSCSI realm, simple design alternatives make the promises of storage virtualization easy to achieve.
