Radically Simple Hypervisor-Converged Storage for VMs

• Software-defined storage optimized for VMs

• Hypervisor-converged architecture

• Runs on any standard x86 server

• Pools HDD/SSD into a shared datastore

• Delivers enterprise-level scalability and

performance

• Managed through per-VM storage policies

• Deeply integrated with the VMware stack

Virtual SAN - Usability & Manageability : Health Check Plugin

Overview

• SNMP support, custom scripts, emails via VC alarms

• Performance Monitoring – Web client integrated

• Cluster wide summary of VM availability

• Event based alarm triggers

• Detailed Space Reporting (account for dedup etc)

• Proactive rebalance from UI (Health and actions)

• Alarms on performance threshold breach

• Integrate performance data in support bundle

Benefits

• Fully integrated operational management

Fully integrated operational management, which are natively part of the vSphere Web Client

Deduplication and Compression for Space Efficiency

• Nearline deduplication and compression per disk group level.

– Will be called “Space Efficiency”

• Space Efficiency enabled on a cluster level

• Deduplicated when de-staging from cache tier to capacity tier

– Fixed block length deduplication (4KB Blocks)

• Compressed after deduplication
