There is a huge transformation happening in IT organisations, migrating from single-purpose physical servers to consolidated virtual machine technologies. The benefits of virtualisation are many: cutting acquisition, management and facilities costs by reducing the number of physical machines; increasing service levels through faster server provisioning; and enabling new delivery models such as cloud services. However, virtualizing servers does not reduce the amount of data that is created and stored; actually it can have the opposite affect as virtual machines are moved or de-provisioned. IBM provides advanced data protection and flexible recovery capabilities for VMware, addressing data management challenges.
