Storage vMotion is technology within the VMware hosting platform that allows data centers to migrate virtual machines (VMs) without sacrificing performance. IT technicians can relocate mission-critical VM data to another storage location while the VM is still live on their server.
The resulting transfer occurs without any downtime or service interruption to the end user. With the help of storage vMotion, IT teams can now perform necessary system tasks without sacrificing system efficiency or data integrity.
