Ask any VMware administrator what the implications are of using a non-certified storage solution in their VMware environment and they shudder to think of the consequences if they call VMware support. But identifying a unified storage solution that is also VMware Certified is more complex than small and midsize enterprises (SMEs) may expect. It is for this reason that SMEs should look to storage solutions like the RELDATA 9240i where VMware Certification is not only a given; they may even be able to add VMware Certification for other non-certified storage in their environment.
