Storage and Virtualization

In many IT departments, increased user demand has led to disorganized storage growth, resulting in sprawling, heterogeneous storage environments. These environments make it difficult to achieve optimal utilization and to provision storage capacity for new users and applications. Storage virtualization can put an end to these problems. It enables companies to logically aggregate disk storage so capacity can be efficiently allocated across applications and users. But there is much debate about the use of virtualization. What do you think ? While storage virtualization helps automate tasks, it may also add another layer of complexity and management.
