We
normally connect our servers running VMware to Storage by Fibre Channel
because we think it has the best performance and uptime
characteristics. For some time now the N Series has a better way to
connect your VMware environment.....that is through NFS.
Save money but not using Fibre Channel at all on your N Series. The Fibre Channel protocol is emulated on the N Series and therefore you'll understand that FC can be slower than NFS. But a more pleasent reason for using NFS is to save 50 + % diskspace compared to FC when cloning.
Ask your local N Series representative for the "VMware on NFS" information and beat the competition by far (in price and performance).
