"From a break fix perspective, I think

there's a huge difference in what

needs to be done when a piece of

hardware fails. I can have anyone

on my team go back and replace a

1U or 2U servers. … essentially

modularizing my datacenter and

delivering a true Software-Defined

Storage architecture."

• Software-defined storage embedded in

vSphere

• Runs on any standard x86 server

• Pools HDD/flash into a shared datastore

• Managed through storage policy-based

management framework

• High performance through flash acceleration

• Highly resilient - zero data loss in the event of

hardware failures

• Deeply integrated with the VMware stack

Global Storage Cost Trend

• Delay purchases to benefit from

rapidly declining prices

• Grow storage along with compute

• Take advantage of new hardware

technologies coming to market

Benefit from Server-Side Economics and Smaller Footprint

and the ability to expand when we need

to, quickly. And that’s something the

Virtual SAN lets us do in every case.

For the Doe Fund, you know, it is the

holy grail of storage.”

Today’s Agenda





VMware Virtual SAN Advantage

• Virtual SAN Seamlessly Integrates with VMware Stack

• Virtual SAN is managed directly by vCenter

“If you know vSphere, you know Virtual SAN”

38


• Add as little as a single hard drive to expand Virtual SAN

build exactly what you need and scale up and scale out

• Choose their hardware partner with Virtual SAN
