“In the era of the virtualized data center, IT professionals seeking scale-out storage capabilities need solutions that are easy to manage, yet offer high-performance and low operational overhead. By combining the superior manageability of the Cisco Unified Computing System with VMware’s vSAN hypervisor-converged storage architecture, we can jointly offer customers a solution that unites compute, network, storage, and virtualization into a cohesive, effective system.”
“Customers are increasingly considering server-based storage solutions when they do not have the data-center space, budget or feature-set needs for a separate storage array. By combining our storage optimized PowerEdge servers with VMware vSAN, we’re helping customers get a single virtualized layer of compute and storage while keeping our promise to address the unique needs of organizations through a variety of solution offerings. Dell has worked with VMware from the beginning to ensure customers who want to deploy VMware vSAN can scale up or scale out easily to meet application and business needs on the best platform in the industry.”
“EMC and VMware continue to drive transformative change in software-defined storage for virtualized environments. The combination of industry-leading EMC storage solutions with VMware vSAN™ enables a new class of storage architectures that address customer-needs for increased efficiency, flexibility and agility. As previously announced, EMC is actively developing solutions for VMware vSAN, and intends to target a number of different use-cases in the enterprise and SMB/SME markets, including Virtual Desktop Integration (VDI), test-dev and disaster recovery.”
“VMware vSAN promises to bring the benefits of shared storage to a much broader customer base. We are excited about how the differentiated performance, reliability and density benefits of Fusion ioMemory help customers realize the best results of this new scale-out storage solution combined with the server infrastructure of their choice.”
"We are pleased to be part of the ecosystem for VMware vSAN. Our leading portfolio of enterprise-class HDDs and SSDs, including SAS, SATA and PCIe, provide an excellent platform on which to leverage VMware vSAN to create high-capacity and high-performance hypervisor-converged storage for VMware vSphere environments."
“Our next generation enterprise SSD solutions have been certified by VMware for use along with VMware’s vSAN™ as a viable means of providing simplified, high-performing software-based storage for virtual machines. We will continue to work closely with our IT customers and enterprise software leaders such as VMware in developing the most advanced and environmentally-friendly IT systems for the data center.”
“SanDisk is delighted to support VMware vSAN, as we see flash storage as a key enabler of virtualization and the software-defined data center. SanDisk’s enterprise SAS SSDs are designed to work seamlessly with VMware vSAN, providing enterprise performance that is superior to traditional HDD storage with lower capital and operating expenses, which significantly reduces total cost of ownership.”
