At Partner Exchange 2012 I sat down with Wen Yu, Alliances Engineer at VMware, to discuss the technologies, integrations and joint solutions available from VMware & NetApp for customers looking to virtualizing business critical applications such as Oracle databases, SAP, Java apps, Microsoft SQL Server, Exchange, and SharePoint.
For more information on these solutions please head to the partner pages at VMware & NetApp.
Vaughn is a VP of Systems Engineering at VAST Data. He helps organizations capitalize on what’s possible from VAST’s Universal Storage in a multitude of environments including A.I. & deep learning, data analytics, animation & VFX, media & broadcast, health & life sciences, data protection, etc. He spent 23 years in various leadership roles at Pure Storage and NetApp, and has been awarded a U.S. patent.
Vaughn strives to simplify the technically complex and advocates thinking outside the box. You can find his perspective online at vaughnstewart.com and in print; he’s coauthored multiple books including “Virtualization Changes Everything: Storage Strategies for VMware vSphere & Cloud Computing“.
Thanks for the informative video. I just wanted to add that since performance is such a concern when virtualizing business critical applications, another good practice to assure SLAs is to deploy a performance monitoring solution that collects and correlates metrics across the virtual infrastructure and storage to head off issues and avoid bottlenecks. It can really “save your bacon.”
