Cloud-native storage in vSphere and vSAN provides comprehensive data management for both stateless and stateful applications. IT operators can run, monitor and manage storage for containers and virtual machines on the same platform.
As an IT manager of an SMB, I need to work with a limited team. We can no longer spend too much time on the day-to-day management of servers. So we were looking for a user-friendly solution that is easy to manage. That’s why we choose VMware vSAN.
With vSAN we now have consistent architecture and operations to transition to a multi-cloud environment in the future.
Deploying vSphere and vSAN got rid of the legacy three-tier architecture. We can now adopt a simplified hyperconverged scalable architecture, which helped us in reducing TCO.
Here’s how customers use vSAN to simplify data center operations and lower CapEx.
Learn how vSAN reduces total cost of ownership by more than 45% with capital and operational savings.

vSAN benefits include:
A vSAN cluster needs at least two physical hosts, with dedicated local storage devices and shared witness. For more information, see VMware Compatibility Guide for Systems/Servers and VMware Compatibility Guide for vSAN.
vSAN is integrated with the VMware vSphere Hypervisor—so unlike other solutions, there’s no need to install additional software or deploy storage controller virtual appliances to every host in the cluster. To configure and manage a vSAN cluster, only vCenter Server is required.
Yes, vSphere can access and use traditional datastores with vSAN and vSphere Virtual Volumes. In most cases, vSphere Storage vMotion can be used to migrate VMs between these datastore types. This makes it easy to migrate existing workloads when performing maintenance or retiring a storage solution.
To evaluate an existing environment for migration to vSAN, request a free HCI assessment. This data can be used with the vSAN ReadyNode Sizer to determine suitable vSAN ReadyNode server configurations.
Storage capacity can be increased in a couple ways: scale out your clusters by adding nodes, or scale up existing nodes by adding capacity. Cluster Quickstart makes it easy to add compute and storage capacity to a vSAN cluster.
There are four vSAN deployment options: a jointly engineered turnkey system, Global Partner Appliances, vSAN ReadyNodes, and as a service with cloud providers. See vSAN deployment options for more information.
For detailed guidance on enabling vSAN, see vSAN documentation.
For step-by-step instructions on configuring a vSAN cluster, see vSAN documentation.
vSAN ReadyNodes are x86 servers that have been pre-configured, tested and certified for VMware HCI software. Each ReadyNode is optimally configured for vSAN with the required amount of CPU, memory, network, I/O controllers and storage. For more information, see vSAN ReadyNodes.
vSAN+ is the premier HCI offering, delivering the cloud connected services IT admins need to centralize management and enhance efficiency. vSAN+ is offered as a subscription.
vSAN+ benefits include:
Yes, subject to standard market restrictions due to export controls and/or sanctions.
