Eventually, the virtual machines who run the PSC services, will run in a management cluster consisting of 3 nodes. These nodes are using Virtual SAN (VSAN) for storage.

A improper storage design, results in an poor virtual machine performance. Over the years, storage vendors added all kind of optimizations to their solution, in the form of cache. Almost […]
