Disadvantages of Storage Virtualization
Below are some Disadvantages of Storage Virtualization.
- Storage Virtualization still has limitations which must be considered.
- Data security is still a problem. Virtual environments can draw new types of cyberattacks, despite the fact that some may contend that virtual computers and servers are more secure than physical ones.
- The deployment of storage virtualization is not always easy. There aren’t many technological obstacles, including scalability.
- Your data’s end-to-end perspective is broken by virtualization. Integrating the virtualized storage solution with current tools and systems is a requirement.
What is Storage Virtualization?
Storage virtualization is a process of pooling physical storage devices so that IT may address a single “virtual” storage unit. It offered considerable economic and operational savings over bare metal storage but is now mostly overshadowed by the cloud paradigm.
