Selecting the right kind of storage can be challenging, but there is a way of making it easier.
We need some kind of tiered storage; this could be SSD, SAS, and SATA disk, or mirrored disk, normal disks, and slow disks. We also need an organization that we can host this tiering in.
Create a storage profile for each of the storage tiers in vSphere; refer to the Adding a new storage profile to vCD recipe in this chapter.
Make sure to name the storage profile so that it makes sense to customers. The classic example is using Gold, Silver, and Bronze to indicate how good or expensive the storage is for customers. Refer to upright the Creating a Naming Standards recipe in Chapter 6, Improving a vCloud Design.
Import the storage profile into vCloud.
Add the storage profile to the OvCD.
Make sure that you publish the details of the storage tiering and provide the details for the customer who uses it.
