Time to virtualize my storage

So I’ve virtualized the server, the application (through grid), now it’s time to virtualize my storage.

What do I mean?  Well there’s movement towards virtualizing your storage, take your free space on the servers, your emc san, any filer space etc, and make it universally available as one large volume to a server/application or the end user.
