Multiple infrastructure layers that deliver compute, storage, networking, procured and deployed separately
Compute
External Storage Arrays
Compute, storage, networking delivered from the hypervisor, on a single layer of x86 virtualized server infrastructure
Compute + Storage
vSphere + Virtual SAN
Multiple infrastructure layers (compute, storage, networking) integrated and sold in a server chassis, along with software options

Purpose
Virtual SAN: Radically Simple Hypervisor-Converged Storage
8
vSphere + Virtual SAN…
• Software-defined storage embedded in vSphere
• Runs on any standard x86 server
• Pools HDD/flash into a shared datastore
• Managed through storage policy-based management framework
• High performance through flash acceleration
• Highly resilient - zero data loss in the event of hardware failures
• Deeply integrated with the VMware stack

Virtual SAN is NOT a Virtual Storage Appliance
9
– Virtual SAN is fully integrated with vbmhere (ESXi & vCenter)– Drivers embedded in ESXi 5.5 contain the Virtual SAN smarts– Kernel modules:
• Provide the shortest path for I/O• Remove unnecessary management overheads when dealing with an
appliance• Do not consume resources unnecessarily
Virtual SAN – Embedded into vSphereVirtual SAN – Not a VSA
VSA
Simplify How You Buy, Deploy and Operate Your SDDC
10
• Scalable and modular architecture housed in a small form factor– 2U/4N Form factor including compute, storage, network and management resources
– Linear and automated scale out up to 8 appliances
• Fully orchestrated deployment, configuration and management– Time to Value to first VM in minutes from power up
– Radically simple management of your day to day operation
– Non disruptive patching and updating of both hardware and software
• Highly resilient by design for no application downtime– Four independent ESXi hosts allow applications to non-disruptively move to another host during
planned maintenance or failure.
– Leverages VMware vSphere HA, vMotion, DRS and Virtual SAN to ensure high availability at both the compute and storage layers
• Reduce complexity and support costs, and time to recovery– Single point of support for both hardware and software
– Advanced Log Analysis capabilities
