What is important to remember about VMs when deploying Direct Attached Storage (DAS) only systems?

When deploying Direct Attached Storage (DAS) only systems, it is important to remember that failure of a VM brings down all the components that are installed on the VM. This is because DAS is a type of storage that is connected directly to the computer accessing it, such as a PC or server, as opposed to storage that is accessed over a network, such as network-attached storage (NAS) or storage area network (SAN). DAS provides fast and low-latency access to the data, but it also limits the scalability and availability of the system. If a VM fails, the data stored on the DAS attached to that VM becomes inaccessible to other VMs or applications. Therefore, it is essential to have a backup and recovery strategy for the data on the DAS, as well as a high availability design for the VMs123. References: Solution Design Guide for Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise, Release 12.6 (1)1, Direct-Attached Storage (DAS): What is it?4, Share an Azure managed disk across VMs2.
