EMC Storage Management Tool Now VMware Aware

EMC has enhanced its software for provisioning, mapping, and managing its VMAX and VNX storage systems in virtual environments. As reported on InformationWeek, the storage management tool announcement was made at the VMworld 2011 conference for virtualization and cloud computing in Las Vegas.

"EMC Virtual Storage Integrator for VMware vCenter lets IT managers map virtual machines to storage and provision that storage. Unlike much storage management software that is intended for use by storage administrators, the Virtual Storage Integrator is designed for use by server administrators with knowledge of the virtual server environment.

"Designing storage software for the server administrator instead of the storage administrator is a new and coming technology. Since server administrators manage most virtualized environments, EMC's recognition of that is important. The company has designed software for this IT audience, who are familiar with the concepts of network drives and directories and not storage logical unit numbers (LUNs)."
