Sanbolic brings shared file access to virtual machines
SAN vendor Sanbolic, better known for its Melio clustered file system that allows Windows servers shared access to files, has extended its technology to VMware virtual machines. Called the Melio Clustered File System Application Data Solution for VMware ESX, the software makes it possible for concurrent application access of the same data by separate servers. While the enterprise-positioned VMware ESX hypervisor stores virtual machines on a shared SAN volume, it works only on a virtual machine level. In the event of a failure, no other server will be able to access the data immediately. Sanbolic's software makes it possible. Gartner's Paquet noted out that Sanbolic's technology could be rendered unnecessary should VMware choose to bundle it by default into its virtualization engine.
