Where is the VM suffering in terms of performance, e.g. where is the bottleneck ?<br />
<br />
if it is storage, you could look at flash based acceleration products ?<br />
<br />
e.g. vFlash

Excellent &nbsp;suggestions. &nbsp;Our Current storage is on an old &nbsp;HP Left Hand (10K). &nbsp;Now shall be working on migrating to new HP 3PAR on SSD and will keep monitoring the performance. &nbsp; &nbsp;Thanks a ton.

We have about 50 VMs in a Specific DataStore (10K) and the performance is very slow only &nbsp;for One VM. &nbsp;We use this VM &nbsp;for running our backup (using CommVault). &nbsp;Storage IO is not enabled. &nbsp;Is there any way we can improve the performance for this VM or do we have to add another Datastore (preferably SSD). &nbsp;Any other advise will be appreciated.

Performance of VM in  DataStore

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
