HI.
Just setting up a Veeam solution for a client and wondered what peoples thoughts are on the storage. I'm using an ESX 6.5 cluster where the Veeam servers will be hosted, and a 100TB NAS that's being used for storage but I'm not sure if it's better connect the storage to the VMs via ESX, or direct connect them to the VMs vis iSCSI.
Any thoughts? Googling isn't bringing back a definitive solution. My current thought is to use ESX to present them to the VMs to make it easier to manage. (network is a pair of 10gb ports dedicated for storage traffic so LAN speed isn't a concern)
