VMware ESX 3.5/VMware ESXi 3.5
The most popular SAN solution not only for VMware 
ESX and ESXi but also for enterprise data center 
storage consolidation is Fibre Channel. The portability 
and recovery capabilities of VMware implementations 
rely on external shared storage, and are most effective 
in a SAN connectivity environment. VMware servers 
typically reside in the main data center and draw on 
enterprise storage resources where Fibre Channel 
dominates. In addition, the high performance delivered 
by the Fibre Channel protocol is best positioned to 
serve the higher I/O requirements for multiple virtual 
machines running on a single server.
SAN connectivity helps enable server virtualization, 
while server virtualization drives an increased need 
for SAN connectivity.
