Using VMware Infrastructure 3 with 3PAR Utility Storage in Datacenter Deployments

VMware technology delivers transformative cost savings as well as increased operational efficiency, flexibility, and IT service levels. VMware Infrastructure deployments deliver these benefits in part by leveraging enterprise storage solutions and using them to produce higher levels of availability and performance than they would otherwise yield. Typically, these enterprise storage solutions consist of traditional storage arrays that, while offering many tangible benefits, can also create additional cost and complexity in enterprise data centers. By using VMware Infrastructure in combination with a storage platform that is highly efficient and flexible, users can dramatically increase the benefits of virtualization.

3PAR® Utility Storage represents a new class of storage whose benefits extend well beyond the boundaries of traditional storage devices. With breakthrough hardware and software innovations, PAR Utility Storage enables organizations to overcome the complexities, cost, and functional limitations of other storage solutions. PAR helps restore simplicity to open-systems on-line storage environments through a broadly scalable, highly efficient, and controllable storage platform. When deployed together with VMware Infrastructure, PAR Utility Storage offers a virtualized environment with significantly improved efficiencies in human and capital resource utilization.
