Raw Device Mapping Guide: Unlock Peak Performance
Raw Device Mapping (RDM) lets a VMware virtual machine access a physical SAN LUN directly, bypassing VMFS overhead for near-native I/O performance. In this guide you will learn how RDM works, when to choose physical vs virtual compatibility mode, and how it compares to VMDK and vSAN in a post-Broadcom vSphere environment.

Storage Virtualization: Benefits and Architecture
Storage virtualization, software-defined storage or a virtual SAN, combines multiple physical storage arrays from SANs to appear as a single virtual storage device. The pool may merge diverse storage gear from several networks, manufacturers, or cloud services into a unified logical perspective and control it via a single glass pane. Storage virtualization segregates storage management...
