Non-Disruptive Movement of Data

VMware Storage VMotion

 Non-disruptively migrate a VM

across datastores

 Storage protocol independent

 Manage VM performance and storage utilization

Datastore

NetApp Data Motion

 Non-disruptively migrate

datastores across storage systems

 Moves 100s to 1000s of VMs in

single operation

 Manage array capacity and performance

 Perform non-disruptive upgrades

(24)

“Ask your storage vendor if it offers a capacity savings or utilization guarantee.”

– Gartner , 10/08, Capacity Savings & Storage Utilization Guarantees

“We now see an average of 83% reductions in redundant data on our VMware® system.”

– Jonathan Davis, Duke Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy

“We anticipate virtualizing all of our physical servers within the next year. We wouldn’t be able to do that with another storage platform. We’d have to have at least three times the storage we have now with NetApp.”

– Tres Vance, Manager of Technical Infrastructure, Burt’s Bees, Inc.
