Simplified Storage Operations for VMware
Server virtualisation offers many cost and operational benefits over physical server infrastructure deployments. When clients deploy VMware or Hyper-V, often the impact on the storage infrastructure is underestimated resulting in operational challenges. Shoden Data Systems offers storage technologies which assist and improve server virtualisation implementations within client environments.

As organisations move towards virtual infrastructures, there is a realisation that shared storage forms the true backbone that makes virtualisation efficient and effective. Business is demanding services on an “On-demand” or “Just-In-Time” manner without impact to the operations. Server virtualisation, in conjunction with storage area networks (SAN), has made provisioning and planning for these demands far easier and possible.
Key technologies that are integral to the performance and efficiency of any virtualisation infrastructure are Symmetric Active-Active controllers whichdeliver high levels of flexibility through automatically balancing workloads as new applications are deployed. IO bottlenecks, often encountered in virtual environments, can be controlled or eliminated by rapidly balancing workloads across controllers. Thin provisioning provides high levels of efficiency and capacity optimisation and enables the benefits of virtualisation at multiple tiers.
Through Shoden Data Systems partnership with Hitachi Data Systems and VMware we provide an End-to-End virtualised solution that can scale and adapt to the most demanding business requirements and maintain storage simplicity in a dynamic virtualised environment.
Some key benefits for this solution are:
- Simplifies and adds agility to storage administration
- Simplify SAN design and management
- Reduces operational cost associated with keeping unused disk capacity
