on one or more shared processors. 
Virtual Machines can be shifted 
between physical servers in a 
VMware resource pool with no 
downtime, allowing them to be 
dynamically and automatically
allocated to the most appropriate 
host in order to achieve target 
service levels.
This virtualization requires a shared 
storage infrastructure that enables 
VMware functionality such as High 
Availability clusters, VMotion, 
Resource Pools, Dynamic Resource 
Scheduler and Site Recovery Manager. 
The VMware storage foundation 
supports and complements the VMware 
Infrastructure by allowing boot from 
SAN, providing multiple paths for 
failover, consolidating storage, increasing 
storage utilization, and reducing the 
total cost of storage ownership.
The IBM DS4000 and DS5000 series 
offers additional capabilities that go 
beyond what other disk storage systems 
can provide in a VMware Infrastructure. 
These important capabilities, summarized 
below, qualify the IBM System Storage 
DS4000 and DS5000 as the right storage  
solution to achieve more VMware benefits.

In conjunction with VMware, IBM  
    has certified all models of the  
    DS4000 and DS5000 series with  
    ESX Server 35 and ESX Server 3i.  
    The certification tests demonstrated  
    interoperability, boot from SAN,  
    and multipathing for failover of 
    HBAs and storage ports as well as  
    interoperability with SRM 1.0 ( Site  
    Recovery Manager).
The Benefits of Virtualization
Building a virtualized enterprise 
with VMware Infrastructure reduces 
IT infrastructure costs, speeds IT 
response to business demands, 
improves IT services levels, and 
facilitates more consistent business 
operations. Realizing these benefits 
requires a shared storage foundation 
that contributes to an optimized 
VMware infrastructure. The challenge 
for IT is to achieve the full potential 
of VMware benefits, which in turn 
demands the right storage solution.
DS4000 and DS5000 Storage Solutions
VMware enables the consolidation 
of application processing to maximize 
server utilization and reduce 
operational costs. Using virtualization, 
multiple Virtual Machines run 
simultaneously and independently
