Do you want to reduce complexity Data Center. IBM XIV storage sub-system can help you reduce complexity in our storage. Check this video from VMWorld 2009.

XIV promises high density and high performance storage and very low cost.
It uses SATA disks in order to achive lower cost and lower power consumption (and less cooling required) than FC SCSI drives. Performance is excellent due to parallelism and caching (even though individual disks are slower).

But what I like the most is the simplicity. No need to think how to optimize the storage system and how to distribute the data. Sounds too good to be true. I definately need to study more about this.
