Cloud providers like
to tout how quickly and easily they can scale their environments to meet
customer demands, but nothing puts that to the test like cloud storage growth. Even
outside of the cloud, storage demands can easily spiral out of control, and
there comes a point when it's no longer economical for a provider to keep adding
boxes. Anticipating that challenge before launching its cloud services in
2009, Host.net deployed DataCore Software's storage hypervisor,
SANsymphony-V, a platform that Host.net credits for providing its customers with
900 days of consecutive, uninterrupted uptime.
In this case-study
podcast, SearchCloudProvider.com site editor Jessica Scarpati gets a crash
course on storage hypervisors from George Teixeira, CEO of DataCore Software, before
diving into the details of Host.net's deployment with Jeffrey Slapp, vice
president of virtualization services at the Florida-based cloud and managed
services provider.
