Fundamentals of Heterogeneous Physical and Virtual Environment Path Management

Virtualization brings a new level of flexibility to the data center. But, it can also bring a new level of complexity, resulting in the need to implement automated, standardized, and optimized operational processes across virtual and physical environments. EMC PowerPath/VE delivers advanced PowerPath features to streamline and automate I/O performance and availability of VMware vSphere and Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V virtual environments. The attendee will hear how PowerPath for virtual servers - including VMware and Hyper-V - brings advanced multipathing capabilities such as automatic failover, dynamic load-balancing, device prioritization, and performance optimization to the virtual storage platform.
