Your cloud is highly, if not completely, virtualized. So, you need scale and agility that conventional LUN- and volume-based storage, built for physical workloads, just can’t provide. Spending hours mapping applications to LUNs and constantly tuning performance no longer delivers guaranteed performance SLAs and quality of service (QoS). Even after that, you still lack visibility in a multi-tenant, multi-hypervisor environment, and resorting to guesswork in planning and troubleshooting certainly isn’t a stable way to scale, either.
In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, Dan Florea, Director of Product Management at Tintri, will investigate the fundamental disconnect between your virtualized applications and underlying storage. Work in VMs, not LUNs or volumes.
