As a reminder, pRDMs disks are a prerequisite with Microsoft Failover Clusters virtual machines (in CAB scenarios).<\/p>\n<p>There are also other interesting features that will probably benefit our SQL Server instances as storage IOPS reservation, application level backup and restore of SQL Server (including Exchange and SharePoint) with new vSphere Data Protection capabilities.
