Let’s take a look at what these two technologies are, and how they compliment each other. What is VMware vMotion? How Does vMotion Work? How Does Storage vMotion Work? What is VMware DRS?
Why is it important to use vMotion for virtual machines?
Since virtual machines can stick around for a long time, features like vMotion and Storage vMotion make it easy to migrate virtual machines between hosts, clusters, storage arrays, etc. Today, when you migrate a virtual machine, you have many more options than you did when vMotion made its debut in 2003.
