Objective 3.1 – Managing vSphere integration with physical storage

VMware vSphere supports different types of storage, including traditional and software-defined solutions. For the physical storage, the three main categories are the following:

  • Direct attached storage (DAS): vSphere supports SCSI, SATA, SAS solutions, including (in vSphere 6.5), and also NVMe solutions.
  • Network-attached storage (NAS): vSphere supports NFSv3 and (starting with vSphere 6.0) NFSv4. Note that Content Library also supports the SMB protocol, but is limited to this specific function.
