IRON VSAN Systems Series Overview: VMWare Virtual SAN Storage Building Blocks
VSAN-Series VMware Virtual SAN Datasheet
Pre-Configured VSAN storage system appliance, powered by VMWare virtual SAN software provides optimization with high-performance, efficiency, resiliency and configuration versatility on Industry-standard commodity hardware
VMware Virtual SAN is a new software-defined storage tier for VMware vSphere, bringing the benefits of the software-defined data center to storage. By clustering server hard disk and solid state drives (HDDs and SSDs), Virtual SAN creates a flash-optimized, highly resilient shared datastore designed for virtual environments.
The VSAN products, powered by VMWare virtual SAN provide a software-defined data center solution based on hypervisor-converged distributed architectures. VSAN products are modular building blocks which provide a simple and inexpensive storage solution to implement a hyper-converged data center initiative, while providing a path to scale-out the virtual storage and compute infrastructure by adding additional blocks as needed.
VMWare Virtual SAN Software Platform Key Benefits:
- Total Software-defined Datacenter or Software Defined Storage architectures
