Business – I need xyz VM service today; and it may change tomorrow

vSphere Admins – What type of storage data services am I going to get ?

Storage Admin – What type of Application workload are you deploying

Why VVol ?

Protocol Endpoint (PE) Layer *Many VMs multiplexed

to a single Datastore

1-n mapping of

VM to a VVol

1. Create fixed-size, uniform LUNs

2. Lack of granular data services

3. Complex/long administration cycles

4. LUN/Volume centric storage configurations vs VM focused

1. Create VVols to match VM requirements

2. VM-centric finer management & offload within array

3. Simple assured policy provisioning & operations

4. VM consumption, configuration, visibility manageability
