What a VM administrator needs to know to avoid VM performance problems caused by insufficient VMware storage capacity and plan for environment growth.

Many VM performance issues stem from bottlenecks within a data center’s storage throughput capacity. These issues originate from inadequate planning for a virtual environment’s storage needs and can be avoided with visibility into storage infrastructure and a planning process to address storage resource expansion in line with the application usage growth that the environment will face.

This white paper will present nine considerations that VM administrators must know about storage to avoid VM performance problems, forecast storage capacity needs, and further understand how virtualization makes data center storage more complex.
