It seems as though any discussion of storage management would not be complete without the inclusion of storage and server virtualization. Over the next few years, the size of the storage management problem will continue to compound. Data centers will continue to be more heterogeneous with the introduction of new server and storage hardware technologies. Therefore, it is critical for VARs to sell storage management solutions that embrace both physical and virtual server environments.

Server consolidation certainly makes sense; performance hardware with fatter pipes. Naturally, you need to have your data paths well in mind and make sure the consolidation fits into your disaster recovery plan. into SAN, NAS, after type of analysis. And most importantly, you must calculate where your management software leverages. Hardware is just so much metal unless your server and storage management software contribute to the TCO improvement you envision by consolidating resources.
