VMware VSAN

vSAN is enterprise-class storage virtualization software that, when combined with vSphere, allows you to manage to compute and storage with a single platform. It seamlessly joins all storage devices across a vSphere cluster into a shared data pool, allowing you easy scale up or down as your needs change. Using commodity x86 server components, vSAN-powered hyperconverged infrastructure lowers storage costs 40% or more versus traditional servers and storage architectures. There’s no need to deploy or maintain separate arrays and storage networking hardware with VMware vSAN. Its policy-based management removes the burden of provisioning and modifying numerous LUNs and data services. With its consistency and flexibility, VMware vSAN architecture provides the simplest path from server virtualization to hyperconverged infrastructure and a true hybrid cloud architecture.
