Virtual Volumes (vVols) Managed Snapshot Deep Dive

vSphere managed snapshots have historically been a core piece of integrations with many workflows that are widely used. However, with VMFS based VMs there are some performance penalties when keeping these snapshots or having multiple of them. vVols does not have those same performance limitations. Rather, vVols unlocks even more workflows that the end user can leverage with vVols and Managed Snapshots.

During this presentation we will dive into how managed snapshots work with vVols, what value add there is, and have a demo of having some Databases on vVols and leverage managed snapshots to create point in time clones.
