Abstract
A data storage system includes at least one network virtualization-aware switch. The data storage system also includes at least one storage array operatively coupled to the network virtualization-aware switch, wherein the storage array is operatively coupled to at least one host computing device, and wherein the host computing device instantiates at least one virtual machine in at least one virtual network. Further, the data storage system includes at least one controller operatively coupled to the network virtualization-aware switch, wherein the controller is configured to link the storage array with the virtual machine of the virtual network through the network virtualization-aware switch.
