Spectrum Virtualize enables Pooling of physical resources
Traditional SAN Virtualized Storage Environment
 Capacity is isolated in SAN islands  Combines storage capacity into storage pools
 Multiple management points  Single management point
 Potentially poor capacity utilization  Uses storage assets more efficiently
 Capacity is purchased for and owned by individual  Capacity purchases can be deferred

Traditional SAN Virtualized Storage Environment

• Stop applications • Move data
• Move data • Host systems and applications are not affected
• Re-establish host connections
• Restart applications • Migration scenarios:
• Balance workloads
• Move data between storage tiers
• Migrate data off old equipment
