54. “ ” “ ” BRIDGE TO THE CLOUD
Heterogeneous storage virtualization can consolidate a diverse storage infrastructure around a common access, management and provisioning point, and offer a bridge from traditional storage infrastructures to a private cloud storage environment. “ ”
The build-out of private cloud environments requires a new wave of innovation in order to deliver scale-out economics and simplified management of storage resources in virtualized environments. “ ”

55. WHERE TO START
Development / Test

56. WHERE TO START
Sales Demos / Training

57. WHERE TO START
Web Servers

58. Conclusion Storage Virtualization is the next wave of virtualization
This transformation will be innovative, and possibly even disruptive.
Your future architecting decisions should think of storage as Flexible, Elastic even, and in alignment with your other business and infrastructure goals.
