VM /ETC

So, I woke up this morning to an email from the President of my company about LeftHand Network’s new virtual appliance. I wrote about this briefly yesterday.

LeftHand Networks claims that it is poised to both halve the cost of providing HA protection for VMware servers, and free stranded disk space in those platforms, by creating a virtual SAN inside VMware ESX clusters.

In the next quarter the company will ship a version of its SAN/iQ clustered and virtualized storage software that can run on a VMware virtual server — delivered as a virtual appliance.

That means that LeftHand will be trailing a raft of other suppliers such as FalconStor and DataCore, which have already ported their storage virtualization software from physical servers to VMware-hosted virtual servers.

Now I am definitely checking this out ASAP!!
