DIMINISHED PERFORMANCE

I/O bottleneck at storage controller

Placing flash in the array underutilizes faster media

INFLEXIBLE SCALABILITY

Must buy capacity ahead of need

Fork lift upgrades required over time

COMPLEX MANAGEMENT

Need for specialized iSCSI, FC, NFS skills

Data management policies lack context

VM

VMVM

VMVM

1. Request LUN creation on SAN

2. Define LUN on top of a particular RAID group

3. SAN team ensures LUN is appropriately zoned and masked

4. Virtualization admin scans for new LUNs on each ESXi host

5. Virtualization admin adds new LUN and formats with VMFS into VMFS-datastore

6. SAN admin monitors for SAN capacity utilization and hot spots
