3.10.2 VMware Linkage
By linking with "VMware vSphere" (which virtualizes platforms) and "VMware vCenter Server" (which supports
integrated management of VMware vSphere), the resources of the ETERNUS DX can be effectively used and
system performance can be improved.

VMware VASA
vStorage API for Storage Awareness (VASA) is an API that enables vCenter Server to link with the storage sys-
tem and obtain storage system information.
•
Profile-Driven Storage
The Profile-Driven Storage function classifies volumes according to the service level in order to allocate vir-
tual machines with the most suitable volumes.
•
Distributed Resource Scheduler (Storage DRS)
The Storage DRS function moves original data in virtual machines to the most suitable storage area accord-
ing to the access volume. Storage DRS balances the loads on multiple physical servers in order to eliminate
the need for performance management on each virtual machine.
