What is Storage Virtualization in Cloud Computing?
Storage virtualization is the sharing of physical storage into multiple storage devices which further appears to be a single storage device. It can be also called as a group of an available storage device which simply manages from a central console.
This virtualization provides numerous benefits such as easy backup, achieving, and recovery of the data. This whole process requires very less time and works in an efficient manner. Storage virtualization in Cloud Computing does not show the actual complexity of the Storage Area Network (SAN). This virtualization is applicable to all levels of SAN.
Why is storage virtualization needed?
Despite the drive for digital transformation, IT departments are held back by the constant need to administer, tune, and maintain storage infrastructure that supports apps and data. In fact, to achieve high storage availability, IT deals with a great deal of hardware complexity and overhead cost.
A recent survey of IT decision-makers conducted by ESG for HPE found that 93% see storage and data management complexity impeding digital transformation. And 67% of surveyed organizations see fragmented data visibility across hybrid cloud creating business risk. That means enterprises must fundamentally change the piecemeal technology used to manage data and infrastructure. They need to break down all the complexity and silos for their data and infrastructure across the hybrid cloud.

SRM works with various devices and suppliers to provide real-time, uniform insight across all layers of your storage system. You can reduce unplanned downtime with a rapid setup, simple UI, and detailed reports.
Due to lack of infrastructure, digital will be normal for every organization.
As digital transformation is serving the world with better than ever results, more organizations are moving towards the advantages of cloud and choosing cloud computing is indeed an option better than anything else.
In the public cloud, the service provider offers resources including storage capacity, computing power or infrastructure to the businesses but in the case of private cloud, the organizations can use their own infrastructure.
The Reasons Why Businesses Choose Private Cloud Security and Privacy The most important aspect of using a private cloud is to improve the security level it provides.
Compared to the public cloud, private cloud is more secure and the data is saved and managed on a private network that can’t be accessed by any other organization.
The IT team manages the overall server if it is on-site and the organizations don’t need to worry about the physical security of the infrastructure.
In this report, Market Research Future (MRFR) includes the segmentation and dynamics of the market to offer a better glimpse of the market in the coming years.Growing need to manage IT infrastructure cost effectively and need for better returns on investment after deploying the solution is driving the overall IT infrastructure services market.
IT infrastructure services are offered by various technology service providers who manage the IT infrastructure, including network, server, and storage effectively.
These services include both professional as well as managed ones.
Professional services include consulting, planning integration & implementation as well as maintenance services.
With the growing complexity in managing IT infrastructure, and lack of skilled personnel to manage various network and cloud infrastructures, enterprises all of sizes are looking for IT infrastructure services.
Major players compete on the basis of types of services offered and pricing of the services, among others.The adoption of IT Infrastructure Services is specifically increasing across healthcare, manufacturing, consumer goods and BFSI industry vertical.
