The amount of data in virtualized datacenters keeps growing exponentially, making VM-centric storage solutions ever more expensive. This creates a challenge for vendors when it comes to developing storage that can sustain continuous data growth and maintain required levels of performance. With virtualization having to store roughly double the amount of data that it had to during the previous two years, the demand, popularity, and production of virtual server and desktop infrastructures are starting to explode. To deal with the expected data growth, businesses will need products capable of delivering exceptional levels of storage efficiency and unique capabilities at an optimal cost.
