vSAN trivia


Virtual SAN Is Hypervisor-converged

✓Virtual SAN is embedded in the vSphere Kernel

• Consumes <10% CPU

• Provides the shortest path for I/O

✓Simple to manage• No need to install and manage separate virtual

appliances

• No single point of failure

✓Seamless integration with vSphere and VMware stack

Upgrade Automation – One-click for Full stack


VxRail – Savings points

➢ CAPEX – No testing infrastructure – VxRail Release Candidate Matrix – Software/Firmware updates pre-tested combinations – 100% operational

➢ OPEX – Time savings – appliance-like approach, expansions or upgrades does not sacrifices your time over Compatibility Matrixes with uncertain outcomes

➢ BUSINESS – One support – all responsibility is fully on Dell Technologies

Real TCO is key, not acquisition costs


VxRail – Additional advantages

➢ Smallest possible overhead -RAM/CPU/capacity

➢ Only first 3 nodes must be identical

➢ Real Software Defined Storage –encryption, deduplication, redundancy, erasure coding

➢ Node expansion spread over time – zero migrations, more balanced budgets

➢ More independent clusters – old/new, SQL/Oracle, etc.
