vSAN for Horizon seamlessly evolves virtual desktops and applications to a modern infrastructure; delivering all-flash performance, rapid scaling and provisioning, and enterprise-grade data services – all while reducing total cost of ownership (TCO).

Capacity Saving Data Services

vSAN provides a rich set of data services that efficiently reduce the capacity a cluster utilizes, helping you get the most out of your infrastructure. Through deduplication and compression, along with TRIM/UNMAP support, vSAN reduces capacity utilized by up to 80% and consolidates up to 200 VDI sessions per node.  

Ease of Use from Familiar Tools

Accelerate resource provisioning and manage both compute and storage resources with the familiar tools of vSphere and vCenter. vSAN removes the need for training on specialized storage interfaces, and the overhead of operating them. Simplified workflows and consistent use of automation also enables new users to rapidly build expertise.  

Granular Non-Disruptive Scale-Up or Scale-Out

Grow your desktop virtualization environment and non-disruptively expand the capacity of the vSAN datastore by adding hosts to a cluster (scale-out) to expand capacity and performance or disks to a host (scale-up) to add capacity or performance for desktops and apps.  

Industry-Leading Deployment Flexibility

With more choice and flexibility than any other vendor, our HCI ecosystem works with your existing server vendor and can integrate with the entire SDDC stack. For private cloud, leverage 500+ jointly certified servers and 15 server OEMs, including the jointly engineered Dell EMC VxRail system. It’s also easy to extend to the public cloud using native services with AWS, and to deploy both partner-managed private and public clouds, spanning HPE GreenLake, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform.
