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.
Get better price per 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.
Ensures no resources are left behind by sharing storage across any topology, including stretched clusters and vCenter servers, with HCI Mesh.
VMware Cloud Packs help you modernize at your pace by delivering benefits of cloud to on-premises workloads. Find yours.
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 out, scale up, or expand storage independently from compute to meet unique application needs and optimize resource utilization.
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.
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 Site Recovery Manager and vSphere Replication.Orchestrate and automate recovery by combining vSAN with 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.

“As an IT manager of an SMB … we were looking for a user-friendly solution that is easy to manage. That’s why we choose VMware vSAN.”
— Giovanni Govaerts, IT Manager
“With vSAN we now have consistent architecture and operations to transition to a multi-cloud environment in the future.”
— Steven West, System Administration Manager
“Deploying vSphere and vSAN got rid of the legacy three-tier architecture. We adopted a hyperconverged architecture, helping us reduce TCO by 15%.”
— Aket Dingal, Senior Vice President, Head of IT and CISO
