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

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
