Storage Virtualization refers to the process of completely abstracting logical storage from physical storage. The physical storage resources are agregated into storage pools, from which the logical storage is created. With storage virtualization, multiple independent storage devices, that may be scattered over a network, appear to be a single monolithic storage device, which can be managed centrally. Storage Virtualization is commonly used in SANs.

When using Data Domain storage with well-understood best practices for backup and taking snapshots in VMware, a deployment can simplify management of consistent images. Once stored, the images are ready to restore, locally or, with optimized deduplicated replication, at a remote DR site. This paper describes best practices for managing these synergistic technologies together.
