Scaling the IBM System Storage DS4000 Connectivity on VMware

Overview Over the past few years, VMware and Blade Servers have taken the IT world by storm. According to Gartner, blade servers now account for 12.5% of all new servers and are expected to grow over 29% by 2009. IDC indicates that 10% of physical servers deployed in 2007 will run as Virtual Servers (VMware, XEN, or Microsoft) and that rate represents a growth of 52% over the 2006 installation. As VMware grows in the data center, it presents new challenges and opportunities for how the Server-to-SAN interface needs to evolve and change.
