By continuously monitoring shared capacity utilization trends in your VMware ESX environment, Capacity Analyzer significantly reduces the time and costs of identifying current capacity bottlenecks causing performance problems. 

Many companies that have deployed server virtualization are still struggling with massive data growth, rising storage maintenance cost, and underutilized storage assets from a multitude of vendors. A virtual storage infrastructure from HP can double your capacity utilization and cut management costs in half. 

As enterprises turn to server virtualization to enhance IT flexibility while reducing costs, Server virtualization solutions such as VMware Infrastructure software are helping organizations achieve those goals by abstracting applications from physical resources.

In a virtual server infrastructure where all resources are shared, optimal performance can only be achieved with an adequate amount of properly allocated resource capacity. Not allocating enough resources can cause critical bottlenecks - leading to performance problems and costly downtime events. 

"Company ABC" is a successful enterprise with an annual storage growth rate of 70%, and a series of data management challenges. Check out this report to see what they uncovered by conducting a file system inventory -- and how they used that information to reduce costs and improve data management. 

View this VKernel webcast to learn how to best optimize resource utilization in your current ESX environment. During this 30 minute presentation, we'll discuss how capacity planning is different in an ESX environment, resource alignment, and many other aspects of capacity planning within your current environment. 

Maximizing your enterprise data storage capacity is more important than ever before. With the majority of storage budgets unable to keep pace with data growth rates, most storage administrators need to find ways to reduce capital and operating expenses to survive the economic downturn. Download this tutorial to learn more about tiered storage. 

Deduplication has become an essential tool to control exponential data growth. This article will describe the techniques being used today to deduplicate data and will highlight considerations for choosing the best technology for your environment. 

This podcast details a strategy to optimize your virtualized infrastructure performance. Get answers on how to leverage key performance indicators and cross-domain analytics to plan for future capacity demands and improve service levels. Discover the secret to managing your VMware infrastructure performance for optimal resource utilization. 

IDC believes that thin provisioning is a powerful enabling technology with significant benefits to offer storage administrators looking for higher levels of storage efficiency. 

This whitepaper explains how building a smarter storage infrastructure based on the business value of data can enable you to address your data storage requirements efficiently and at the lowest cost. 

The most powerful application of virtualization today is at the storage system level. With the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array and HP StorageWorks SAN Virtualization Services platform, organizations can take advantage of the many benefits of virtualization with a solution designed specifically for open systems. 

In virtualized data centers, the fact that all applications and users can impact each other combined with a lack of resource monitoring can cause poor performance and even system downtime. This white paper provides a formula to avoid these problems.
