VMware vSAN 8 Standard

VMware vSAN 8 Standard is a software-defined storage solution that integrates directly with VMware vSphere, offering a simplified and efficient way to manage storage in virtualized environments. Designed for enterprises looking to maximize the performance and efficiency of their data centers, vSAN 8 Standard enables administrators to create and manage highly scalable, resilient, and flexible storage using existing infrastructure.

With the growing demand for storage solutions that are fast, secure, and easy to manage, vSAN 8 Standard is positioned as an ideal choice for organizations that want to take a more modern approach to storage, without the costs and complexities associated with traditional storage solutions.

Key Features

• Native Integration with vSphere vSAN 8 Standard integrates natively with VMware vSphere, allowing administrators to manage both virtualization and storage from a single interface. This integration simplifies administration and reduces the need for separate management tools.
• Hyperconverged Storage vSAN 8 uses a hyperconverged storage approach, meaning it combines storage and compute into a single infrastructure. This not only reduces the complexity of the IT environment, but also improves operational efficiency by enabling centralized resource management.
• Optimal Performance With advanced storage capabilities, such as the use of solid-state drives (SSDs) and enterprise-grade storage, vSAN 8 Standard delivers exceptional performance for mission-critical applications. vSAN’s caching technology ensures that frequently used data is stored on higher-speed drives, improving application latency and responsiveness.
• Flexible Scalability vSAN 8 Standard enables organizations to easily and flexibly scale their storage. Nodes can be added to the cluster without downtime, making it easy to expand storage as business needs change. This ability to scale without disruption is essential for growing organizations.
• Rule-Based Storage Policies Administrators can define specific storage policies for each virtual machine or application, allowing them to customize performance and availability based on business needs. Policies can include data replication, compression, and encryption, ensuring that each application has the appropriate level of service.
• Resilience and Disaster Recovery vSAN 8 Standard includes high availability and disaster recovery capabilities, ensuring that data is protected against hardware failures. Data replication and automatic failover enable organizations to maintain business continuity even in critical situations.
• Intuitive User Interface The vSAN 8 management console offers an intuitive interface that makes it easy to monitor and manage storage. Administrators can gain real-time insights into performance, cluster health, and resource usage, allowing them to make informed decisions quickly.
