Historically, the adoption of storage virtualization technologies in SAN environments has been limited, primarily to enterprise data centers needing a tool for online data migration between heterogeneous storage environments. However, this is no longer the case and virtualized iSCSI SANs make it drastically easier to deploy, manage and build a virtualized enterprise storage infrastructure.
