You have been consulting and a company has asked for your guidance. They know that they need to have network storage technologies, but IT is a little lost. They want to have a scalable infrastructure to be able to expand and shrink the servers in their infrastructure when needed. In order to do this, they have purchased a license for VMware vSphere 6 Enterprise Plus. So now they are just trying to figure out the best storage solution they should use. There must be at least 2 paragraphs. Find and describe 2 distinct uses (at least one of these must be a use which specifically involve VMware vSphere 6 Enterprise Plus) for iSCSI technolog

You have two Windows Server 2016 computers with the Hyper-V role installed. Both computers have two hard drives, one for the system volume and the other for data. One server, HyperVTest, is going to be used mainly for testing and what-if scenarios, and its data drive is 250 GB. You estimate that you might have 8 or 10 VMs configured on HyperVTest with two or three running at the same time. Each test VM has disk requirements ranging from about 30 GB to 50 GB. The other server, HyperVApp, runs in the data center with production VMs installed. Its data drive is 500 GB. You expect two VMs to run on HyperVApp, each needing about 150 GB to 200 GB of disk space. Both are expected to run fairly disk-intensive applications. Given this environment, describe how you would configure the virtual disks for the VMs on both servers.

What are the key considerations when deciding between "thin provisioning" and "thick provisioning" in virtual storage management?

What's the difference between main and secondary storage in terms of performance and price?

Do you think cloud storage is a better option than traditional client storage software?
