Tech Preview: Storage DRS

Tech Preview: Storage DRS
In this session, we will provide a tech preview of technology our engineers are working on in the lab relating to automated management of virtual disks across storage devices.
This work extends and adds to the vSphere 4.1 Storage I/O Control feature. The aim is to automate the tedious task of managing space and I/O load across a group of storage devices by intelligent initial placement and by using storage vMotion of virtual disks between data stores.
This is analogous to how server DRS uses vMotion for CPU and memory load balancing.
