Virtual Servers with iSCSI SANS

Project: Company's data storage demand growth
is out-pacing regular server upgrades.  Adding
additional drives only complicate the network by
adding new drive letters and requires folders to
moved from one drive letter to another.

Solution:  Deploy iSCSI SAN that can grow with network demand and maintain the same drive letter.  When
more data storage is required, simply add an additional hot swap drive to the iSCSI array and the network
capacity increases without any downtime.

The iSCSI array also allowed the servers to be virtualized.  VMware running on an HP blade server migrated
10 servers onto one piece of hardware saving resources and increasing reliability.
