  • Magic Quadrant for Midrange Disk Arrays
    Magic Quadrant for Midrange Disk Arrays Gartner RAS Core Research Note G00172162, Roger W. Cox, Pushan Rinnen, Stanley Zaffos, 30 November 2009, RA4 12062010 Even in a weak economy, midrange disk array revenue outshines other external controller-based disk storage segments. New product offerings incorporating advanced technology that reduce cost and improve utilization are helping some vendors gain share, but nonproduct attributes remain important. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Sparked by technology innovation and the broad deployment of virtualized server infrastructures, the midrange disk array market produced better results in terms of vendor revenue and terabytes shipped than the other external controller-based disk storage segments. Despite a seriously weak global economy, midrange disk array vendor revenue declined only 3.7% over a 12-month period from July 2008 through June 2009, while high- end enterprise disk array vendor revenue dropped 11.3%. The midrange disk array market is a fragmented market. Users have many alternative vendors from which to choose. While Gartner’s quantitative research shows that the eight largest vendors represent 81% of midrange disk array market revenue, our end-user surveys and client inquiries indicate that IT personnel responsible for the storage infrastructure are increasingly willing to consider alternative vendors with midrange disk array products that might produce a better total cost of ownership (TCO) outcome, or more precisely meet service-level agreements (SLAs) associated with applications requiring extreme bandwidth performance or high-density disk storage. This said, Gartner does not expect a material change in market share between these two vendor segments during the next 12 months.

  • SAN Compatibility Guide for ESX Server 2.X
    SAN Compatibility Guide For ESX Server 2.x Last Updated: October 1, 2008 What’s New Changes since the last edition of this guide include: Added support for 3PAR T‐Class. See “3PAR,” on page 19, “3PAR,” on page 39, “3PAR,” on page 56, “3PAR,” on page 73, “3PAR,” on page 88. Introduction VMware ESX Server has been tested and deployed in a variety of SAN environments. However, in practice, because every customerʹs device combination, topology, and configuration are unique, VMware recommends that VMware professional services be engaged to install and configure the initial ESX Server installation in your SAN environment. The support matrix below describes in detail the combinations of HBAs and storage devices currently tested by VMware and its storage partners. NOTE The use of an external enclosure, or JBOD connected to a supported SAS/SCSI controller in a supported server is supported, as long as there is no disk sharing among multiple servers or SAS/SCSI cards. This support guide is a live document that will be updated frequently. Before deploying ESX Server, please check the latest version of this document online at: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/esx_SAN_guide.pdf If you are having a technical issue with 3rd party HW/SW and it is not found on this list, please refer to our 3rd Party HW/SW support policy at http://www.vmware.com/ support/policies/ThirdParty.html.

  • Magic Quadrant for Midrange and High-End Modular Disk Arrays Gartner RAS Core Research Note G00207396, Roger W
    Magic Quadrant for Midrange and High-End Modular Disk Arrays Gartner RAS Core Research Note G00207396, Roger W. Cox, Pushan Rinnen, Stanley Zaffos, Jimmie Chang, 15 November 2010, V3RA3 11192011 Midrange and high-end modular disk array storage systems offer the innovation and scalability required to cost-effectively meet demanding online storage requirements. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW This Magic Quadrant represents vendors that sell into the end-user market branded midrange and high-end modular disk array storage systems that support block access protocols. Bolstered by continued technology innovation, enhanced scalability, expanded deployment of server virtualization infrastructures and renewed product refresh projects, the midrange and high-end modular disk array market grew a vibrant 9.7% between July 2009 and June 2010. The midrange and high-end modular disk array market is a fragmented market. Users have many alternative vendors from which to choose. While Gartner’s quantitative research shows that the eight largest vendors represent 81% of midrange and high-end modular disk array market revenue, our end-user surveys and client inquiries indicate that IT personnel responsible for the storage infrastructure are increasingly willing to consider alternative vendors with midrange and high-end modular disk array products that might produce a better total cost of ownership (TCO) outcome, or more precisely meet service-level agreements (SLAs) associated with applications requiring extreme bandwidth performance or high-density disk storage. Nevertheless, Gartner does not expect a material change in market share between these two vendor segments during the next 12 months. Thin provisioning, reservationless snap copies, automated quality of service (QoS) and data deduplication become attributes that play an important role in vendor selection as users address the need to improve operational efficiencies within their storage infrastructure technologies, such as unified storage architectures.
