United Utilities and a “VSAN First” Policy

united_utilitiesDuncan Epping brings us a great VSAN story today — a very early VSAN adopter who now is intent on replacing as much of their existing storage environment as possible with VSAN.

For United Utilities, it’s a perfect storm of lower cost, amazing performance and a simplified operational model.  All future storage requirements are going on VSAN unless there’s a really good reason not to.

But it’s not as easy as it sounds, as there are predictable organizational issues at hand 🙂

A great read!
