description
EMC has a vision of a unified virtualization infrastructure that includes virtual network, virtual servers, and virtual storage. By managing all three you can get a consistent abstract model of the entire virtual infrastructure. This enables end-to-end dynamic provisioning, load balancing and nondisruptive optimization of all resources. Virtualization of all resources enables dynamic online operation.
