  • 1.  Good low priced vdp replication units?

    Posted Sep 12, 2014 04:14 PM

    Hi all,

    We have a small 2 desk office in another town and would like to put a small nas unit like a Buffalo nas or similar in a corner there to accept replication from our VDP.  Where might I find a list of compatible hardware?

    Thanks in advance

    you should look at VMware HCL for compatible Storage/SAN systems->Array type: NAS ... for relevant ESXi host release.

    VMware Compatibility Guide: Storage/SAN Search


    For Buffalo Inc. there is only one type listed:

    - Buffalo, Inc TS-2RZxxxTxxD

    but there are much other NAS vendors you can choose...

    One affordable VMware Ready NAS from Lenovo:

    or some from QNAP SMB range TSx53 or TSx69 series:

    or Seagate STDF100
