virtualised storage and servers
Apologies in advance for the novice question.
Does server virtualisation and storage go hand in hand? Or can you have one without the other? Say if you ran 5 virtual servers from one physical server that DID have internal storage drives - does that assume your virtualisaing storage between the 5 servers?
Or does storing all data from the virtual servers on a SAN equate to "virtual storage"?
Jargon free answers would be most helpful.

That was my suspicion, thanks for confirming.
unless you map a server to a one to one relationship with a physical disk. this could be a physical or virtual server.
