IBM System Storage™ N series – Unified Storage Solutions Perspectives on VMware and CLARii. ON § Gives EMC an integral footprint in the server architecture – No longer a storage-only vendor – Ability to claim “complete solution provider” status in terms of virtualization technology, integration, and services § Creates the perception of favored status and deeper integration § Paves the way for greater success • Exploiting perceptions of “favored status” with customers and in marketing • Investing in VMware integration projects and touting futures • Claiming market leadership in storage for VMware Reality: VMware is vendor-agnostic. No validation of EMC’s leadership claims. Server virtualization market is poised for a shake-up. 68 © 2009 IBM Corporation
