I love receiving suprise packages. Way back in January, I got a briefing on a VERY cool server offering from Dell that was going to be part of their DCS (Dell Cloud Services) offering. I, of course, requested one understanding it to be an almost perfect density compute node for my EMC Atmos Virtual Edition testing and design work. Well, what do you think decided to show up on my doorstep today?

In my first post on policy, i tried to show what policy’s influence would be like from a top-level standpoint. We see that policy can start from a localized array standpoint and “fix” performancing or hotspot issues based on key LUN migration technologies (like EMC‘s FAST promises to do; Compellent already does this) while allowing business processes to continue “unharmed.” To a certain extent, the LUN migrations of yesteryear were an act of policy, if only to show the level of manual involvement required in order to manage a SAN. What I’d like to look at today is the concept of extending policy BEYOND a localized resource or array and looking at its impact in a global storage environment.
