ABSTRACT:
In this SearchServerVirtualization.com Podcast, Burton Group analyst and IT book author Chris Wolf connects the dots between storage and virtualization. He describes the usage of storage transports (FC or iSCSI) for server virtualization, drilling down to cover iSCSI's readiness for virtualization deployments. He also explains how VMs connect to fibre channel and the decision points on choosing between using iSCSI over fibre channel, and vice-versa, in virtualization deployments.

Other topics covered in this expert Podcast include:

  • Why NPIV (N_Port ID Virtualization) is important
  • Considerations using NPIV in a virtualized environment
  • The pros and cons of using virtual disks versus mapping VMs directly to physical disks
