| The lack of interoperability across storage products from different vendors is severely limiting the growth of the virtualization market. |
| Storage virtualization has generally been associated with the handshake between computers and disk blocks. |
| This network distributed virtualization technique greatly simplifies the user experience. |
| Asymmetrical virtualization, by contrast, can scale to any level, as the appliance does not handle any data flow or physical connections. |
| Also called storage subsystem virtualization, array-based brands virtualize single arrays or multiple networked arrays by the same manufacturer. |
| To create a true virtualized infrastructure, organizations must consider both resource virtualization and application virtualization. |
