Real Independence: Virtual Servers & Storage
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008It’s been a while since my last post, and with summer officially over (I know most people think summer ends on Labor Day in the US, but the weathermen insist the official end is late September), it seems like a good time to look at a recent announcement. Among the flurry of press releases at the recent VMworld 2008 in Las Vegas, there was one in particular I’d like to discuss. VMware has certified the FalconStor® Network Storage Server (NSS) as a storage virtualization device for use with VMware Infrastructure 3. But the real point here isn’t that FalconStor NSS was certified, it’s that NSS isn’t a device at all – it’s software.
