In fact, most VMware advanced features require network storage. Join John Shubeck, EMC Technical Business Consultant, as he focuses on how to use Network File System (NFS) and existing IP Networks to build a simple and effective storage architecture for VMware.

None of this is best practice - this is simply describing NFS and features if the EMC filer. At no stage do you get a tip about optimizing NFS apart from the fact its a good idea to run on its own network. Dont call a sales pitch 'best practice'
