About This Presentation

VMware Virtual SAN™ is a new approach to storage. Virtual SAN applies the principles of the software-defined data center to storage to provide a high-performance, cost-effective storage alternative for virtualized environments. http://vmw.re/1NymVf1


Slide Content

Virtual SAN puts the application in charge and handles storage 
provisioning and management from the hypervisor level. To learn 
how to create a simple, powerful, and cost-effective storage tier for 
virtual environments, visit www.vmware.com/products/virtual-san.

Built-in 
Failure Tolerance
Leverages distributed RAID and cache 
mirroring to ensure that data is never 
lost if a disk, host, network or rack fails.

Deeply integrated 
VMware Stack
•  Interoperable
•  Works with the VMware stack 
•  Delivers convenience and ease of use 
Managed Through 
VM-centric Storage Policies
Leverages a policy-based management 
framework to enable storage 
provisioning and management on a 
per-VM basis. Framework enables the 
VM to define the right amount of 
•  Capacity
•  Performance 
•  Availability it needs.

High Performance 
with Flash Acceleration
Accelerate performance by pooling 
server-side HDD and SSD storage 
resources to create a two-tiered storage 
solution with a flash-accelerated 
caching tier and a data persistence tier.
