Reduce storage cost and complexity with VMware vSAN, enterprise-class storage virtualization software that provides the simplest path to hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) and multi cloud.
Using your current VMware tools, extend virtualization to storage with our secure hyperconverged solution, built to integrate with your hypervisor and leading public cloud providers.
Achieve better price performance using the latest storage technology on industry-standard servers.
Enhance IT productivity with centralized visibility and alerts for your vSAN infrastructure from a single cloud console, and manage virtual machine and container-based applications seamlessly with VMware Tanzu integration.
Unlock petabyte-scale disaggregation with vSAN Max, scaling storage independently to optimize resource utilization and drive down costs.
Boost performance on next-generation devices by up to 4x, without compromising space efficiency.
Lower storage TCO by up to 40% with enhanced data compression and adaptive storage efficiencies.
Boost availability and meet higher SLA requirements through a new storage pool construct.
Enjoy a consistent, intuitive management experience across all vSAN deployments and architectures.
Scale up to 8.6 Petabytes and 3.6 million IOPS per cluster.
Scale-out up to 24 data nodes per cluster.
Lower TCO of mission-critical databases by up to 30%.
Manage all vSAN environments with a single interface.
Scale compute and storage independently at petabyte scale via disaggregation for optimal resources utilization and lower costs.
Enable developers to seamlessly consume storage to create apps at scale, while providing the governance admins need to manage the infrastructure for VMs and containers.
Easily provision a file share with a single workflow, and use vSAN as a unified storage control plane for both block and file storage.
Leverage the vSAN Data Persistence platform framework to integrate cloud-native applications into the underlying virtual infrastructure.
Align storage with the application demands of your VMs and container volumes. Define storage needs for a VM, volume or VMDK and let the software apply and enforce the requirements.
Transform on-premises infrastructure with cloud-connected services that centralize management and enhance efficiency.
Pay-as-you-grow subscription options help you simplify and manage costs.
Shrink infrastructure maintenance windows with one-click updates.
Track global inventory, centrally provision VMs, and view alerts from a single cloud management console.
VMware Cloud on AWS Outposts is a Cloud Infrastructure service of the Cross-Cloud services portfolio that delivers a managed cloud to your on-premises environment.
Achieve high performance for your most vital apps— up to 150k IOPS per node. Expedite deployment with highly automated processes and reduce storage costs compared to legacy storage solutions.
Improve your user experience and get superior desktop and app performance at scale, with resources that precisely match your growth requirements.
Boost local IT performance by managing it from your data center. Start with a small physical footprint of just two nodes and expand as needed. Control costs with flexible licensing models.
Lower DR costs by using HCI servers, not instead of purpose-built storage arrays. Manage your DR site easily from the data center. Orchestrate and automate recovery by combining vSAN with VMware Site Recovery Manager and vSphere Replication.
Run, monitor and manage storage for containers and virtual machines on the same platform. Cloud-native storage provides comprehensive data management for both stateless and stateful applications.
