Some virtual machine workloads require more storage than is available in vSAN. When you reach the capacity limit of vSAN, you can either add more Azure VMware Solution nodes to increase the capacity of vSAN, or you can use an external storage solution. Adding external storage is a good option when you need to scale storage capacity without adding more CPU and memory to the cluster.

For Azure VMware Solution, the PSC Azure Native service uses VMware vSphere Storage APIs for Array Integration (VAAI). These hardware acceleration APIs allow ESXi hosts to offload certain storage tasks to the storage system, freeing up host resources and improving performance for operations such as cloning and zeroing. Pure Storage Cloud Azure Native removes the traditional complexity of configuring storage connections while still providing the benefits of VAAI — all directly from the vSphere Client through a built-in plugin.
