Foundations of vSAN Architecture Video Series

School is back in session, and you know what that means – it is time to refresh your knowledge of everything VMware vSAN! With our new Foundations of vSAN Architecture YouTube series – led by John Nicholson and Pete Koehler of VMware – you’ll achieve a deeper understanding of vSAN storage virtualization, starting with our new vSAN 8 with vSAN Express Storage Architecture (ESA).

Tune in every week to our ongoing Foundations of vSAN Architecture lightboard video series as the vSAN team breaks down the basics of the storage management solution using digestible and easy-to-follow hand-written notes and drawings. See what we have posted so far by checking out the links below:
