#VCP #Storage #Concept Uses APIs to deliver the appropriate multipathing and load-balancing for the connected storage. Third-party storage providers like IBM, Datacore etc. deliver plugins which can be configured via a PSP ruleset to increase IO performance and reliability. PSA inserts code directly into the ESX storage I/O path. The PSA coordinates the operation of the NMP(Native Multipathing Plugin) and any additional third-party MPP (Multipathing plugins). ## 🔗Resources
