Virtualized iSCSI SANs are increasingly being chosen for virtual datacenter deployments because they help simplify storage management and overcome performance, scalability and cost barriers of traditional SAN architectures. 

Dell storage helped Navicure reduce disaster recovery site deployment time by 75 percent and automated the planning, testing, and deployment of a disaster recovery solution using VMware® SRM software and Dell EqualLogic SRM Adapters. 

With the growth of virtual server deployments come new challenges to effectively protect virtualized data sets. Traditional backup and recovery methods become less effective as the virtual infrastructure scales, creating the need for more scalable… 

Dell and VMware have partnered to offer a cost-effective, high-availability architecture based on Dell™ server and storage clusters and VMware® vCenter Site Recovery Manager (SRM) - one designed to minimize scheduled and unscheduled downtime.
