How vSAN benefits your data center

Reduce storage CapEx with software-defined storage that leverages server-side economics and affordable flash

Easily scale up and scale out a vSAN environment

vSAN is the only vSphere-native storage platform that naturally extends virtualization to storage, creating a flash-accelerated, hyper-converged solution that works with existing tools, skill sets, software solutions, and server preferences

Lower total cost of ownership by 50% or more. Reduce storage CapEx with software-defined storage that leverages server-side economics and affordable flash. Avoid large capital expenses by growing-as-you-go with on-demand, granular scaling of compute and storage that delivers predictable performance and costs

Flexible deployment options and easy, automated upgrades

Built-in health and performance monitoring to ensure application SLAs

Simplicity

"VMware has been really critical to drive the fluidity back to the business."
- David Giambruno, SVP and CIO, Tribune Media

Agility

"Based on the requirements of up-time, integration of all the different siloes and essentially the seamlessness of the architecture, VMware is, as far as we're concerned, the proper choice - pretty much the most solid approach to hyperconvergence."
- Mike Feld, Interim CTO, Baystate Health

Manageability

"To put it in layman's terms, my customer, what made them so happy is tasks they were running on the old environment were taking thirty to forty five minutes to complete. And on the new environment, with vSAN, it was sub-five minutes."
- Kenny Wilder, IT Director, Fulton County Schools

Lower TCO

"We can stand up a chassis with vSAN in just hours. vSAN has automation capabilities that allow us to deploy compute resources and storage resources as a single operation—in minutes, not hours or days."
- Frans van Rooyen, Cloud Architect, Adobe
