One of the biggest challenges in virtualized infrastructure impacting application performance is the ability to manage resource contention in the underlying storage infrastructure. A common approach to reduce the impact of this challenge is to over-provision storage platforms with IO and disk capacity and manage mission-critical and other IO-intensive applications in silos. However, this is a trade-off that leads to a higher cost per gigabyte of storage allocated to every virtual machine, as well as significantly impacting operational costs associated with service assurance.
