FlexClones or Deduplication? |
Monday, 06 July 2009 by Michel Roth | |||
I’ve discussed this topic before, but I felt like it was a topic that needed to be revisited again. Storage admins need to know how their choices in storage technologies may or may not impact virtualization efforts, and this particular choice—leveraging pointer-based snapshots or deduplication—is particularly important. A number of times over the last few months, I’ve run into
situations where NetApp’s FlexClone technology was being
heavily pitched to customers interested in deploying, or expanding
their deployment of, VMware Infrastructure.
