Virsto Simplifies Storage Management with Virtualization Software

Newcomer Virsto has landed on the storage management scene with a new brand of storage virtualization software. The goal of the software, according to the company, is to what the hypervisor did for servers—make them less-costly, and more efficient to handle workloads faster. According to the report on eWeek, Virsto One, the company's first product, claims to reduce storage sprawl, simplify storage management, increase storage performance, and also eliminate excessive storage costs.

"Virsto One is delivered as a simple plug-in to Hyper-V, and offers a seamless user interface with PowerShell integration and standard Windows interfaces, Davis told eWEEK. It uses a 10MB agent in each node to tie the deployment together.

"'The major IT vendors can offer you software and hardware to do this, for sure, but it's complicated. You need to round up all the right pieces, put them all together, test them—it can be time-consuming and expensive,' Davis said. 'Virsto can deliver the goods in one package and do it much less expensively.'"
