Objective 3.1 – Managing vSphere integration with physical storage

VMware vSphere supports different types of storage, including traditional and software-defined solutions. For the physical storage, the three main categories are the following:

Direct attached storage(DAS): vSphere supports SCSI, SATA, SAS solutions, including (in vSphere 6.5), and also NVMe solutions.
Network-attached storage(NAS): vSphere supports NFSv3 and (starting with vSphere 6.0) NFSv4. Note that Content Library also supports the SMB protocol, but is limited to this specific function.
Storage area network (SAN): vSphere supports several FC, FCoE, and iSCSI solutions.

Each type of storage provides different capabilities and features:

Storage type	Frontend protocols	Datastore	vSphere features
DAS	SCSI, SATA, SAS, and so on	VMFS	VADP, RDM^, vSphere HA, and DRS^*
SAN FC	FC, FCoE	VMFS vVols	VADP, RDM, vSphere HA and DRS, vSphere FT
SAN iSCSI	iSCSI	VMFS vVols	VADP, RDM, vSphere HA and DRS, vSphere FT
NAS	NFS	NFS vVols	VADP, vSphere HA and DRS,...
