Event: Virtualization Congress Announced

by 1 Comment

Virtualization.info just announced what promises to be one of the most interesting virtualization events of the year: Virtualization Congress bills itself as the world’s first vendor independent virtualization event and will be held from 14 to 16 October at the ExCel centre in London.

From the about page:

It is not a secret that virtualization technologies are changing companies’ data centers. The immense popularity that these technologies are obtaining is equal only to the need for knowledge about them. And as we try to build that knowledge, virtualization is already changing. There are many new products each month, and hundreds of new features each year.

At virtualization.info, we have covered the market evolution for a long time. We know how fast the landscape is evolving, and how complex it can be keeping up the pace. Thus, we decided to shape an event with unique characteristics, different from the typical conference, which can bridge the gap between innovation and implementation in a more effective way.

Congratulations to Alessandro Perilli and watch out for extensive coverage on Virtualization.com!

EMC Updates SAN Virtualization Solution Invista 2.1

by Leave a Comment

EMC has introduced the latest version of Invista 2.1 (demo), its flagship SAN virtualization solution. Invista is an enterprise-class, network-based storage virtualization that combines EMC application software and hardware with intelligent SAN switches from Brocade and Cisco.

The new version of Invista features higher availability for improved data protection, expanded scalability for stronger performance, and enhanced management for better utilization, all of which help organizations keep their infrastructures up and running through both planned and unplanned events. Invista has enhanced high availability through the new distributed control path cluster (CPC) which allows nodes of the CPC to be separated by campus distances, providing for Invista to continue operating in case of localized failure. The number of virtual volumes and storage elements supported has doubled, and there is a five-fold increase in the number of simultaneous mobility sessions supported. Invista’s new heterogeneous pooling and mirroring functionality provides maximum flexibility in creating tiered storage pools and supports mirrored copies across different tiers.

EMC Invista has now been tested, optimized and certified for use with VMware ESX Server 3.0.2, thus enabling organizations to improve their ability to manage, share, and protect the growing amount of information that is being supported by VMware Infrastructure environments. EMC Invista version 2.0 is now available; version 2.1, which includes heterogeneous mirroring and storage pooling, will be available later his month. Invista support for VMware ESX Server 3.0.2 is expected to be posted to the VMware SAN Compatibility Guide before the end of 2007.
