VMware Linkage

By linking with "VMware vSphere" (which virtualizes platforms) and "VMware vCenter Server" (which supports
integrated management of VMware vSphere), the resources of the ETERNUS DX can be effectively used and
system performance can be improved.
In addition, by supporting VVOLs that are also supported by VMware vSphere 6, the system can be efficiently
operated.
