 One by-product of server sprawl - storage sprawl - challenges both physical and virtualized environments, especially for enterprises consolidating or deploying large numbers of applications. Storage sprawl affects both physical and virtual environments. As physical systems are converted to guest Virtual Machines (VM), the storage for each new VMware ESX Server - and in some cases each VM - must be managed independently. By combining VMware with Isilon IQ clustered storage - which vastly simplifies managing virtual machines through a single, shared pool of storage - enterprises can complement VMware's virtual infrastructure in the storage environment and eliminate the barriers associated with traditional SAN and NAS storage systems. Isilon IQ clustered storage systems are VMware-certified (http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_san_guide.pdf), and provide the industry's most scalable and highest performing systems for storing VMs hosted on VMware ESX Servers.
