Which storage protocol to choose?
The most common storage related questions we are being asked today are:
- What is the best choice for running VI3 on shared storage?
- Should we use Fibre Channel (FC), iSCSI or NFS?
The answer to these questions will depend on a number of variables and as such the same answer will not be the same for each environment. VMware currently supports deployment of VI3 on all three of those storage protocol choices, as well as on local ESX server storage, and is focused on enabling customers to be successful at leveraging the benefits each of those choices available for the virtualization environment. Although differences exist in which VMware features and functions are available on them, the current approach is to remove as many of those differences as possible so that customers can have more choices available to them.
