VMware vSAN Technical Overview

Use cases for Virtual SAN include mission-critical applications, test and development, remote and branch offices, disaster recovery sites, and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). Virtual SAN supports a number of configuration options such as 2-node clusters for small implementations at remote offices to clusters as large as 64 nodes delivering over 6 million IOPS. Stretched clusters can also be configured to provide resiliency against site failure and workload migration with no downtime for disaster avoidance. VMware provides the market-leading HCI platform powered by vCenter Server, vSphere and Virtual SAN.
