ESX boot Yes Hardware initiator No
Virtual machine boot Yes Yes Yes
Raw device mapping Yes Yes N/A
LUN extension Yes Yes Yes
Replication type Application-consistent Application-consistent Crash-consistent
Site Recovery Manager Yes Yes No

Storage granularity LUN LUN VM, files in VM
The choice of connectivity with VMware ESX is largely driven by application requirements and preference

VMware and NAS
Provisioning storage for a data store is fast and simple– Automated Volume Management lets you provision by workload
in four clicks– Virtual Provisioning by default improves utilization– Expand data store in real time with the click of a button
Scalable IP performance– Similar to iSCSI for most applications– VM granularity instead of LUN
Management simplicity (NFS/CIFS)– Use standard NAS protocols– Most applications benefit from CIFS shares
Backup/restore granularity– Backup VMs, or files within VMs– Restore multiple VMs, individual VMs, or single files within VMs
Every VMware Guest Image is a File…and Managing Files is What NAS is Designed to Do
