Hi Thank you for the answer just one thing I forgot to mention my environment is windows base make any difference?
none what so ever!
should not matter, the NFS datastores would connect to the ESXi hosts as datastores.
If that is not possible you can look at NAS/SAN options but keep in mind a NAS such as Synology or QNAP only has a single controller, if it dies you will need to get new hardware and possibly will need to restore corrupted VMs from backup. As long as you have network ports that you can enable for iSCSI or allow NFS access you can add additional storage.
