NAS Concepts With VMware Infrastructure 3: An Overview of Using Network Attached Storage in a VMware World

Tags:
storage management

Overview VMware Infrastructure 3 is a bundling of VMware's ESX server, Virtual Infrastructure Client and various other add-on services. ESX Server serves as the foundation for virtualization and allows IT administrators to abstract physical hardware resources such as CPUs, Memory, Network and Storage and build multiple virtual machines, allowing for greater flexibility and higher utilization of those resources. ESX Server should be thought of as its own Operating System and various configurations in this paper deal with how to connect those NAS resources directly to the ESX server. Other configurations deal with how those NAS resources are connected to the Virtual Machines themselves.
