Storage companies >> virtualization companies at VMworld?


From Chris Preimesberger at eWeek :

"Random thought: There might have been more storage companies at VMworld than virtualization companies."

Agree? Disagree? What were the highlights for you?

Re: Storage companies >> virtualization companies at VMworld?
From Sal Capizzi at IDEAS Insights:

This week's storage announcements covered a wide range of areas including management, virtual SANs, replication, and disaster recovery:

  • On the management front, Vizioncore announced its Global Alliance Partner Program, which is designed to more tightly integrate data backup, data migration, and replication for VMware environments.
  • LeftHand Networks released a software version of its SAN hardware. This software product runs as a virtual machine on an ESX Server and does not require a separate physical SAN.
  • Emulex announced an ESX-compatible host bus adapter that permits a separate connection for each virtual machine and sets the foundation for fabric zoning, a SAN security feature.
  • With regard to replication and disaster recovery, VMware itself announced its own Site Recovery Manager, which is intended to simplify and automate failover for replication and disaster recovery.
  • Finally, Symantec announced support of VMware environments with its VERITAS Cluster Server product. Cluster Server is a disaster recovery product that provides automatic failover from one site to another in the event that one site is lost for any reason.

Re: Storage companies >> virtualization companies at VMworld?

Maybe I'm missing something, but it was VMworld, not VirtualizationWorld. I would expect to see more storage vendors than virtualization vendors.

I enjoyed meeting and talking to VMware staff, learning more about VCB and VDI, getting unanswered questions answered, putting faces to VMTN names, and punking SurferDave about Smash Mouth.
