SnapDrive 6.3: Support for VMFS and NFS

... the upcoming release of SnapDrive version 6.3 will introduce support for VMKDs residing on VMFS or NFS Datastores. This is significant enhancement from previous releases which only supported RDMs.

Another significant enhancement is that 6.3 also introduces support for Block Reclamation from within a VMDK in an NFS implementation. Given that the default VMDK provisioning format for NFS is a "thin" VMDK, the space reclamation process will keep that VMDK thinly provisioned overtime as applications commit new writes, overwrites and more importantly block deletes.
