VMware vSAN 8 Enterprise

The highly available, scalable and software-defined storage solution for enterprises

VMware vSAN 8 Enterprise is a high-performance, software-defined storage solution specifically designed to provide businesses with a flexible and scalable storage infrastructure. With vSAN 8 Enterprise, organizations can efficiently manage their storage resources by aggregating local datastore resources into a vSphere cluster and using them as a unified storage solution. This solution is ideal for organizations requiring high performance, scalability, and availability.

Main features:

✅ Software-defined storage – vSAN 8 Enterprise leverages the local disks of ESXi hosts to create a high-performance storage environment. It's a software-defined solution that eliminates the need for additional external storage solutions.
✅ Advanced Data Replication – vSAN 8 Enterprise provides advanced replication and data availability to ensure your data is synchronized in real time across different hosts and remains available even in the event of a failure.
✅ High availability and failover – By implementing fault domains and failover mechanisms, vSAN ensures that data remains available even in the event of hardware failures or host outages.
✅ Optimized performance with NVMe and flash storage – vSAN 8 Enterprise supports the use of NVMe and flash storage, enabling significantly higher IOPS performance and faster read and write speeds.
✅ Scalability and flexibility – With vSAN 8 Enterprise, organizations can expand their storage infrastructure as needed. It scales easily in both small and large enterprise environments.
✅ Advanced storage classes – vSAN 8 Enterprise enables the use of different storage classes (such as performance and capacity) to serve different workloads with specific requirements.
✅ Deduplication and compression – Advanced deduplication and compression algorithms store data efficiently and maximize storage space utilization.
✅ VMware vSphere Integration – Because vSAN is fully integrated with VMware vSphere, administrators can manage their storage infrastructure directly from the vSphere management dashboard, enabling easy configuration and management.
✅ Support for vSphere Tanzu and Kubernetes – vSAN 8 Enterprise provides native support for vSphere Tanzu and Kubernetes, enabling organizations to efficiently deploy and manage containerized applications.
✅ Centralized management and automation – VMware vSAN simplifies management through automated processes such as vSphere cluster management and integration with VMware vCenter.

Advantages:

✅ Cost-effective – vSAN 8 Enterprise uses local disks and stores data in a simple and cost-effective way, without the need for expensive external storage devices or SANs.
✅ High availability and redundancy – Advanced data replication and resilience ensure your storage infrastructure remains stable, even in the event of hardware failures or site issues.
✅ Optimized performance for demanding applications – With support for NVMe and flash-based storage devices, vSAN delivers excellent performance for storage-intensive applications and workloads.
✅ Easy Scaling – You can easily scale vSAN by simply adding more hosts and storage resources without impacting operations or availability.
✅ Seamless integration with VMware infrastructures – Because vSAN is tightly integrated with vSphere and VMware vCenter, you can leverage your existing VMware infrastructure to deploy and manage vSAN quickly and efficiently.
✅ Better data recovery and disaster recovery – With advanced restore and replication capabilities, organizations can ensure fast recovery and robust protection of their data.
✅ Support for modern workloads – vSAN 8 Enterprise supports both virtual machines (VMs) and containerized workloads, making it a flexible solution for various use cases.
