NAS Advice? - Enquiries - 02-28-2020
I'm doing some consulting for a small business that needs to have their VMware infrastructure replaced. currently they have 2 VMware hosts; one that they use to run VMs and the other runs Veeam and stores their backups. Both of these hosts are 6-7 years old and highly inadequate and there is no shared storage. I would like to replace the two host with 2 new hosts that are used to run VMs and add some shared storage. I'm thinking a NAS is the way to go. This project has a limited budget for storage, initially, and I don't think a SAN is appropriate. I was thinking about installing a Synology NAS to use for backup storage and possibly running some VMs.

Yes, Synology "Active backup for business" would be a very good backup solutions for VMs.Also if you want to run some VMs on this NAS then I would recommend an XS series models such as DS1621xs+ or DS3617XSI hope this helps.
