Abstract

Storage management is a challenging issue due to exponential growth of data and computing workloads transacted per day. Although storage virtualization plays a prominent role in addressing this problem, there exist complexities in the adoption process of virtualization technologies because the transition from a non-virtualized to a virtualized environment is not always a smooth process. Using a survey of 24 public and private institutions in Tanzania, the organizational readiness for managing data storage in virtualized servers is studied. While there is a satisfactory awareness level for most adopters of the existing virtual-based data storage technologies and disk partition techniques, the attention given to securing adopter’s practices for virtual resource allocation is inefficient for countering virtual machine attacks. Adopters are prone to starve their virtual machines as soon as their computing workloads expand. The study reveals a serious ad hoc allocation of virtual HDDs with high discrepancy between adopters from the same sector and with similar IT infrastructure, and computing level and demands. Organizations are prompted about the limitations of their current practices which would hardly bring maximum benefits of storage virtualization when expanding from small- to large-scale data workloads.
