Strong market forecasts for Integrated Systems (converged & hyper-converged)
• 50% yearly by Gartner • 33% yearly by IDC
45% of respondents are evaluating
the deployment of hyper-converged systems
Market is rapidly moving away from
traditional storage arrays
Hyper-converged is growing quickly

Hyper-converged Use Cases
Latency-sensitive, Virtualized Databases / Applications
Remote Office / Branch Office
(ROBO)
Infrastructure Efficiency &
Consolidation

Infrastructure Efficiency & Consolidation
Challenges Inadequate performance Inefficient usage Difficult to manage heterogeneous infrastructure
► Multiple fabrics (FC, FCoE, iSCSI, Ethernet) ► Variety of vendors, models and management
consoles ► Multiples “silos” to manage

Performance • Performance and response times not suitable for critical applications • Fibre Channel flexibility not supported by hyper-converged
Availability • More and more “boxes” needed
Total Cost of Ownership • Limited options for scaling • Restricted Choice • Silo’ed Infrastructure

Case Study 1 – ROBO
Background Large restaurant chain with over 1,000 locations All key applications run locally
• Point of sale, order scheduling, etc
Application downtime meant temporary site closure • Loss of revenue and poor customer satisfaction
Requirement Lowest cost infrastructure for high availability

![Page 24: Hyperconverged Infrastructure Use Cases and Buyer's Guide](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013013/58a198601a28ab8e608b9916/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Reasons for Selecting DataCore Virtual SAN
Lowest TCO Only 2 servers for HA per location RAM provides I/O acceleration so Flash is optional Runs natively in Windows Hyper-V, requiring one less Windows license
Easy Management Automated deployment with software deployment wizards Integrates with Microsoft System Center Extensive instrumentation for centralized monitoring

Case Study 2 – Application Cluster
Background Mid-sized Hospital Virtualizing PBX (voice communications)
• 12 physical servers -> 12 VMs
Requirements Reliable performance, as voice communication is a Tier 1 application Physical storage and compute footprint across 2 separate buildings
(geographically separated) for high availability

Comparing VMware VSAN and DataCore Virtual SAN
26
VMware VSAN Requires 4 hosts Only works at single site Requires Flash on servers
DataCore Virtual SAN Only requires 2 hosts Stretch cluster with only 2 nodes Flash is optional RAM is faster
![Page 27: Hyperconverged Infrastructure Use Cases and Buyer's Guide](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013013/58a198601a28ab8e608b9916/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
VMware VSAN Requires 4 hosts Only works at single site Requires Flash on servers
DataCore Virtual SAN Only requires 2 hosts Stretch cluster with only 2 nodes Flash is optional RAM is faster
TCO of DataCore Virtual SAN was just 50% of VMware VSAN
