Is commodity storage good for the enterprise and if it is who should be delivering it? A recent post by Hitachi Data Systems, Hu Yoshida claims that I missed an important point in a recent blog that I wrote about storage virtualization. He’s right, I did not mention it at least in that entry, but is it really that important? The point is that virtualization is about more than just enabling you to buy cheap disk. Virtualization solutions like these, to be successful, have to do more. They can enable you to increase redundancy beyond what is available internally.”]
