This VMware white paper highlights how virtualized storage is reshaping IT infrastructure by replacing costly, complex three-tier architectures with scalable, software-defined solutions like vSAN. As data volumes surge and application demands grow, organizations face storage complexity, silos, and rising costs. Virtualized storage aggregates compute and storage into shared pools, boosting agility, resiliency, and cost-efficiency. Key use cases include VDI, business-critical databases, mainstream workloads, disaster recovery, edge deployments, and cloud-native applications. Benefits span lower TCO, simplified management, scalability, developer self-service, and hybrid cloud readiness, making virtualized storage a cornerstone of IT modernization.
