A key requirement for any organisation is the ability to introduce flexibility by allowing dynamic provisioning of server and storage resources whilst dramatically reducing the time to market for new projects. A centrally managed and highly available pool of storage and server resources is created that can be allocated and expanded with flexibility and ease. File virtualisation helps resolve the management issues arising from the explosive growth of unstructured data.

Introducing a layer of abstraction into the server, storage and file infrastructure enables management resources to be consolidated at a level above the physical device or file location.
