This practical and informative booklet for IT professionals summarizes the new trends in server and storage virtualization: Basics, user reports, product information and interviews.
In 2008, the trend towards virtualization is also continuing in the storage sector. The successful compendium series is supplemented by the practical booklet "Storage Virtualization". It deals with the optimization of storage infrastructures and the reliable backup of virtual machines. The editors of SearchDataCenter.de have managed to cover the topic comprehensively and present it in simple and easy-to-understand examples. The issue was published on February 20.
Complex content presented in an understandable way
Manufacturers of virtualization software for Intel servers will continue to drive an entire market forward. The impact of server virtualization is now radiating into the storage industry. Since storage virtualization is now being worked on after network and server virtualization, virtualized applications must also be able to handle it in the future.
The "Storage Virtualization" compendium has tailored the articles to all use cases and company sizes. Readers will find a large number of basic articles that provide an insight into the topic. The solutions and user reports make it very easy to get started with practical applications. Experts provide an outlook for the future and round off the compendium.
Added value for readers
"Storage virtualization" is the fourth focus of the compendium series. The practical and informative booklet introduces interested readers to the topic of virtualization in the storage environment through basic articles, user reports, product information and interviews. Registered users of the SearchDataCenter.de knowledge portal benefit in several ways, as they receive the booklet on virtualization free of charge.
The individual specialist articles will also be available online over the next few weeks on the SearchDataCenter.de website in the virtualization topic channel

Review: "Green IT" issue
The second issue of the compendium on virtualization highlights the important topic of "energy efficiency and green IT". IT departments need to think about energy consumption in the operation and air conditioning of their systems. Energy costs can be significantly reduced through virtualization and the consolidation of hardware servers into virtual servers. In this issue of the series, readers can find out which solutions and providers are holding their own in this segment and how companies are dealing with the issue.
Review: Virtualization for SMEs issue
The compendium on "Virtualization for SMEs" was published in parallel to the "Green IT" issue and looks at this exciting and, above all, business-critical topic from the perspective of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). In addition to the basics and the solutions offered by the many manufacturers, the user reports provide an insight into the experiences and projects of selected customers.
