VMware vSphere Storage Appliance (VSA) Demo – Installing a VSA cluster

Good morning KBTV fans. We have a very tasty treat for you today. Thanks to our dear friend Cormac Hogan at the VMware vSphere Blog, we have a brand new vSphere 5 video for your viewing pleasure.  I can tell that your excitement levels have just skyrocketed as you sit at your desk reading this blog post and seeing the phrase “vSphere 5” included in it.

With vSphere 5, VMware is releasing a new software storage appliance called the vSphere Storage Appliance (VSA). This appliance provides an alternative storage solution for users who may not have the resources or the budget to obtain a physical SAN or NAS type storage solution.

This video demonstrates how you can create a VSA cluster within a vSphere 5 environment using the vSphere Storage Appliance.

Check out the VMware vSphere Blog for additional vSphere 5 storage related blog posts and be sure to keep watching out for additional vSphere 5 related videos on our KBTV YouTube channel over the coming weeks.
