Associated with storage management solutions, other issues are no less interesting is the virtualization and Cloud Computing. One of the popular virtualization software from VMware Inc. is VMware, which meets the needs of virtual desktops and storage servers. Virtualization software is able to perform an efficient cloning process and the virtual machine boot process faster.

A variety of business applications that are vital and critical (eg MS SQL Server and the database SAP) has begun to move into the virtual platform. Because it required serious treatment that anticipates what if the application fails to run, or run back to the virtual machine if necessary.

To that end, collaboration VMware and Symantec produce Symantec VirtualStore and Symantec ApplicationHA that gives customers the ability to perform critical business application virtualization with confidence, and minimize storage costs on the VMware platform.

Cloud Computing, which is one of the hottest topics today, the adoption of the cloud (either public or private) may be required by the company. Public cloud may be required for applications that are not critical, while the private cloud infrastructure can be built for intranet applications. There are two main problems that Cloud Computing is often a concern of people, namely the availability of data and who can read the data, what if the data is missing or not readable by the party responsible? The answer to this problem is the technology itself, a reliable and informative. This technology is supported by encryption technology that allows customers to have their own private key to access the data. For the record in relation to security and encryption, Symantec made acquisitions in the PGP Corporation and Verisign in 2010.

Cloud Computing will become a new platform, where a variety of applications will switch to that platform. On the security side in the future, encryption can be individualized. People can give permissions/rights only on the parties are allowed to access the data because of security solutions with close/block specific access is not effective. In a market perspective, large companies can do a review about optimization and data center management, while for small/medium enterprises can also consider the full range of reliable solutions available.
