VMware VMFS

product_image

VMware VMFS, technology unique to VMware, is the default storage system for virtual machine files on physical SCSI disks and partitions. Central storage of virtual machines with VMware VMFS provides more control, flexibility and performance in managing your virtualized IT environment.

  • Greatly simplify virtual machine provisioning and administration by efficiently storing the entire virtual machine state in a central location.
  • Support unique virtualization-based capabilities such as live migration of running virtual machines from one physical server to another, automatic restart of a failed virtual machine on a separate physical server, and clustering virtual machines across different physical servers.

While conventional file systems allow only one server to have read-write access to the same file at a given time, VMFS is a cluster file system that leverages shared storage to allow multiple instances of VMware ESX to read and write to the same storage, concurrently.

Did you know that unstructured data makes up over 80% of an organisations information store? Did you also know that on average over 85% of this data as not been look at/opened in over 90 days?

Imagine the impact on your IT environment if you could remove this static data from both your primary storage and backup regime? NexStor can offer a solution that will allow you to send multiple copies of these “old” files to multiple remote locations at the same time.
