What Does Virtualization-Aware Storage (VM-Aware Storage) Mean?

Virtualization-aware storage (VM-aware storage) is a type of computer data storage designed to facilitate the management and monitoring of virtual machines (VMs) within a virtualized environment. It enables the storage to be managed at the same time as VMs rather than separately, as logical unit numbers (LUNs) or volumes do.
