Native file services for vSAN helps ease the burden of management when vSAN environments require NFS and SMB file-level services.  Instead of using a legacy physical storage array, or deploying VMs to provide file services, an administrator can simply enable this cluster-level service on a vSAN cluster.  VMware took a very careful approach in how best to provide file services that can easily scale and support a broad variety of conditions.  The file services provided in vSAN 7 is an exciting step in that direction.
