Hello,

If &nbsp;am not wrong you mean to say i have to use NFS instead of VMFS for virtual machines for better processor performance

Hello,<br />
we are going for a storage called VNXE 3100(EMC) storage and IBM blade server (BCS) with Intel processor 2.4 Ghz, RAM will be around 24 Gb. we are also planning to install VMware Vshare on this for virtualization. One of ESX instance will be having data base instance with win 2003 or 2008 ent. operating system with database Sql 2000 along with Microsoft Dynamics Ax3.0 application. So this is the background and would like to know how iscsi will support 20 database users. storage will act as file based role also.Does iscsi advisable in this architecture or will create performance issues.pl help

ISCSI VNXE STORAGE AND MICROSOFT DATABASE

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Microsoft server applications are those applications developed specifically, but not necessarily exclusively, on the Windows Server platform. In addition to well-known products like SQL Server, Exchange, Internet Information Services (IIS), Microsoft Dynamics, Forefront, Lync and Sharepoint, they include applications like Skype, BizTalk, Hyper-V, Groove and Commerce Server. Server applications are managed with the Microsoft System Center.
