The Magic Quadrant is copyrighted December 2005 by Gartner, Inc. and is reused with permission, which permission should not be deemed t o be an endorsement of any company or product depicted in the quadrant. The Ma gic Quadrant is Gartner, Inc.’s opinion and is an analytical representation of a ma rketplace at and for a specific time period. It measures vendors against Gartner defined criteria for a marketplace. The positioning of vendors within a Magic Quadrant is b ased on the complex interplay of many factors. Gartner does not advise enterprises t o select only those firms in the“Leaders” quadrant. In some situations, firms in the Visionary, Challenger, or Niche Player quadrants may be the right matches for an en terprise's requirements.Well-informed vendor selection decisions should rel y on more than a Magic Quadrant.

Virtual SANs (VSANs)� Eliminates costs associated
with separate physical fabrics
� Allows partitioning of individual switches and/or fabrics
� Overlay isolated virtual fabrics on same physical infrastructure
VSANs contain zones and separate (replicated) fabric services
� AvailabilityFault isolation—isolate virtual fabrics from fabric-wide faults/reconfigurations
� ScalabilityReplicated fabric services per VSAN
� SecurityComplete hardware isolation

– Offloads application server CPU– Migrates multiple servers at a time
� Draw Backs – Uses Proprietary replication
technology from array– Requires separate port for specific
replication (migration) on array– Migration within same vendor’s family
of storage and may have to be within same tier
