Virsto for Microsoft Windows Server R2 Hyper-V

If your company relies on Microsoft Hyper-V as its virtual server hypervisor, you already know that you can squeeze a lot more performance and utilization out of servers than you used to. But storage? Not so much.

To ensure high performance of your virtual machines, you?re probably allocating 20 to 30 gigabytes of storage capacity per VM ? but actually consuming only a small fraction of it. The rest of that allocated storage sits idle. In any environment, that adds up to a lot of wasted storage, and wasted money.

The Virsto storage hypervisor for Hyper-V changes the economics of storage. With it, storage over-provisioning and slow, manual VM provisioning now can be things of the past.
