VMware vSAN 8 Advanced

The powerful, scalable and highly available storage solution for businesses

VMware vSAN 8 Advanced is an advanced, software-defined storage solution specifically designed for enterprises requiring a high-performance, flexible, and scalable storage infrastructure. Fully integrated with VMware vSphere, vSAN 8 Advanced enables the aggregation of local disks into a cluster to create a scalable, highly available storage solution suitable for diverse workloads and applications.

Main features:

✅ Software-defined storage – vSAN uses locally installed disks in VMware ESXi hosts to connect them into a single, distributed datastore used for virtual machines and workloads.
✅ Scalability and flexibility – vSAN 8 Advanced enables virtually unlimited scaling of storage capacity and performance by simply adding additional hosts or storage devices.
✅ High availability and redundancy – Through advanced replication and protection mechanisms, vSAN ensures that data is always available, even in the event of host or disk failures.
✅ Support for Flash and NVMe – vSAN 8 Advanced supports flash-based storage and NVMe technology, ensuring extremely high performance for demanding workloads.
✅ Deduplication and compression – Integrated deduplication and compression ensure efficient use of available storage space while reducing overall costs.
✅ Storage Policy-Based Management (SPBM) – SPBM allows administrators to set storage requirements and policies at the VM level, enabling more precise and automated management of storage resources.
✅ Multi-storage class support – Allows you to manage and allocate different storage classes, such as performance or capacity storage, for different workloads.
✅ Advanced Performance Optimization – vSAN 8 Advanced uses advanced optimization technologies for better IOPS performance and fast data processing for storage-intensive applications.
✅ vSphere and vCenter Integration – Seamless integration with VMware vSphere and vCenter enables centralized management of the vSAN infrastructure and facilitates monitoring and reporting.
✅ Advanced troubleshooting and diagnostic tools – vSAN 8 Advanced provides a set of advanced troubleshooting and problem-solving tools to ensure continuous optimization of operations.

Advantages:

✅ Optimized performance – With support for flash and NVMe technologies, vSAN 8 Advanced delivers exceptionally high performance for storage-intensive applications.
✅ Seamless integration into VMware infrastructures – Because vSAN is fully integrated with VMware vSphere, administrators can manage their storage environment with just a few clicks directly from the familiar vSphere console.
✅ Easy scaling and management – ​​With vSAN 8 Advanced, organizations can easily expand their storage infrastructure by adding new hosts and storage devices without impacting uptime.
✅ Reduced storage costs – Data deduplication and compression help reduce storage requirements while maximizing efficiency.
✅ High availability and resilience – With advanced replication and redundancy mechanisms, companies can ensure that their data is always available, even in the event of hardware failures.
✅ Better resource utilization – By using local hard drives and flash technologies, resources are managed efficiently without relying on expensive external storage solutions.
✅ Support for modern workloads – vSAN 8 Advanced supports both traditional virtual machines and containerized workloads, making it a flexible solution for various use cases.
