As VMware began its march into production, IT managers discovered the need for a storage area network (SAN) for the organization to fully tap into its potential. The available SANs at the time were difficult and not really VMware ready.

As a result the use of VMware proliferated. Now, though, it’s time for IT professionals to take another look and raise their expectations yet again.
