VMware vSAN 8 Standard

The scalable, software-defined storage solution for enterprises

VMware vSAN 8 Standard is a state-of-the-art, software-defined storage solution specifically designed for managing storage resources in a virtualized environment. As part of the VMware vSphere platform, vSAN 8 Standard integrates seamlessly with existing VMware infrastructures to deliver a cost-effective, high-performance storage solution. This release is ideal for organizations requiring flexible, scalable storage with integrated security and performance features.

Main features:

✅ Software-defined storage – vSAN 8 Standard uses local disks in VMware ESXi hosts and combines them into a single, distributed storage pool that serves as data storage for virtual machines.
✅ Integration with vSphere – Because vSAN is seamlessly integrated with VMware vSphere, administrators can manage and monitor storage resources directly from the vSphere web interface, making administration much easier.
✅ Centralized management – ​​vSAN can be centrally managed via vCenter Server, enabling a simplified infrastructure and a unified management platform for virtual environments.
✅ Scalability – vSAN 8 Standard allows you to expand storage as needed by adding new hosts or disks to increase capacity and meet the demands of growing workloads.
✅ Advanced data backup and replication – vSAN offers built-in data replication and protection mechanisms that ensure data remains available in the event of a hardware failure.
✅ Optimized performance – The solution offers support for flash and NVMe storage devices, ensuring high performance, especially for memory-intensive applications.
✅ Data compression and deduplication – vSAN offers built-in deduplication and compression to efficiently utilize storage space and reduce data storage costs.
✅ Automated Management – ​​Automatic resource management ensures that storage and computing capacity are used efficiently without the need for manual intervention.
✅ High availability – vSAN ensures that data always remains available even in the event of host or disk failures thanks to advanced error correction and redundancy mechanisms.

Advantages:

✅ Cost savings – By using local storage (HDDs, SSDs and NVMe) and reducing reliance on expensive external storage solutions, companies can significantly reduce their IT infrastructure costs.
✅ Easy management – ​​Full integration with VMware vSphere and vCenter Server simplifies management and enables centralized monitoring and configuration of the storage environment.
✅ Scalability and flexibility – vSAN 8 Standard scales flexibly, allowing companies to easily adapt their storage infrastructure to growing needs.
✅ Optimized Performance – With support for flash and NVMe storage technology, vSAN 8 Standard offers outstanding performance, especially for performance-intensive applications.
✅ High availability and redundancy – Advanced replication and resilience ensure that your data remains secure and available at all times, even in the event of hardware failures.
✅ Automation and Efficiency – vSAN 8 Standard offers built-in automation features that reduce the workload of managing the storage environment while increasing efficiency.
