Physical storage
Complementing virtualization services are the virtualization technologies server, file, and block. We all know these EMC virtualization technologies well VMware, Rainfinity, and Invista. Take the time to learn about these technologies if youre not familiar with them. There are occasions when one of these technologies will be an obvious recommendation to address a customer problem.

Virtual Servers
Each application sees its own logical server, independent of physical servers
Virtual Storage
Each application sees its own logical storage, independent of physical storage
Next, let's move on to virtual servers and virtual storage, and consider the benefits to applications from seeing their own logical server and storage resources. These are the two areas in which EMC is focused on delivering virtualization technology. This slide shows the principle of server virtualization in one graphic. There are three physical servers with six copies of the operating system and applications running on top of them. Each of these operating systems believes it has its own dedicated server. The result is the ability to run multiple applications on the same server, even if an application believes it must have its own server in order to function correctly, and increases server utilization. And the EMC technology we review even moves applications across servers non-disruptively!
