When the hardware acceleration functionality is supported, the host can get hardware assistance and perform the following operations faster and more efficiently:

Migration of virtual machines with Storage vMotion

Deployment of virtual machines from templates

Cloning of virtual machines or templates

VMFS clustered locking and metadata operations for virtual machine files

Writes to thin provisioned and thick virtual disks

Creation of fault-tolerant virtual machines
