I’ve been in the data storage industry for years, and our customers STILL have some sort of tape storage lingering around. In the past, linear storage media was used as the first line of defense to restore lost data. Evolution of Storage and Backup Technology. Yet in 2013, many data centers are still using tape.

Indeed, there are a number of similar technologies out there (Cisco with its UCS, and HP with its own offerings). The beauty of infrastructure orchestration is that it abstracts-away all of the "plumbing" of the Server such as I/O, networking and storage connectivity -- which makes it an absolutely *ideal* complement to virtualization.
