Overcoming The VDI Storage Price Challenge
In a recent webinar, QLogic’s Steve Garceau accurately described the advantages of a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) strategy, as well as the challenges. While there is the potential for cost savings, the primary benefit that data centers will see when…
Scaling Agentless SRM
Storage resource monitoring (SRM) technology has evolved from networked systems which communicated with dedicated software installed on the individual host elements, to architectures which largely eliminated these ‘agents’. This “agentless” technology consolidated these dedicated pieces of software into a ‘collector’…
