Why is storage so important to any infrastructure, and why should it be highly available and virtualized?

For businesses looking toward the era of "software defined storage", it means that the solution to the most common problems faced by anyone administrating storage (performance, flexibility, availability, manageability, scalability) is already here, you just have to look.
The
evolution of virtual storage: A movement...
Richard
Jenkins of DataCore Software recently explored IT
evolution in relation to virtual storage environments, noting that
virtual server provisioning has emerged as a cost effective way to create highly
available systems. It also enabled companies to make more strategic hardware
choices by raising utilization rates. Rather than invest in a completely new
server, data center operators can now deploy a new VM to handle more workloads,
and tasks are more easily shifted from one VM to another to maximize
reliability. Although storage has always been an essential component of these
systems, Jenkins pointed out that it took longer for companies to begin
exploring virtualization in this area.
