Return To Storage Article Archive   Data storage virtualization is the latest technology buzzword :Research Shows Data Storage Companies Fail on Server Virtualization Promise By Gary Every 3 years,technology vendors cook up a new marketing hype to sell their products to gullible clients.In this context,server virtualization is the latest buzzword to hit the data storage industry. Today, every data storage product in the market, such as network routers,storage area networks and network attached storage are sold by IT vendors under the guise of server virtualization. Indeed,server virtualization seems to be the cure all to all data storage problems, global war, terrorism and probably even AIDS. In a recent interview, Gary, editor of the data storage portal,data-recovery-reviews.com rubbished the whole concept of data storage server virtualization To the layman, server virtualization is simply a set of tools to serve as layer between logical and physical storage. Server virtualization promises a great deal - data storage vendor neutral products in data centers and easy server consolidation.This means that CIOs no longer need to worry about buying all their data storage products from a single vendor.

Garys survey of data storage products suggests that data storage vendors are least interested in saving client costs by providing server virtualization data storage products in data centers. Gary accepts that In conclusion,server virtualization is just another marketing hype that is being touted by technology vendors. Havent corporate clients heard of vaporware before?
