Ready, Set, Simplify
With explosive growth of data volume and variety,
organizations need highly scalable solutions that
enable nimble response to changing demands. IT
departments want to better manage volatile
workloads and growing data with predictable cost,
elastic storage scalability and simplified
administration.
With Lenovo vSAN ReadyNodes you can rapidly
deploy pre-engineered, tested and scalable storage
to meet growing performance and capacity needs.
VMware vSAN provides the first step in migrating
to a Software Defined Datacenter (SDDC),
providing high availability, ease of scale-out, and
VM-specific storage policies. The combination of
Lenovo servers and VMware software makes this a
leading edge, cost-effective storage solution.

Intel Optane Technology
As customers start to move their most business
critical and performance sensitive applications to
vSAN based HCI solutions they are recognizing
that they need higher performance than the
current SAS and SATA based All-Flash HCI
solutions can deliver.
Intel Optane addresses this performance issue by
using NVMe, an interface designed for high
performance and a non-volatile memory
technology that can provide data at almost the
speed of DRAM.
Increase Security, Reliability, and
Efficiency

Lenovo vSAN ReadyNodes with Intel Optane
technology provide an ideal combination of
hardware and software for high performance and
exceptional reliability allowing you to confidently
converge diverse workloads on the same
hyperconverged infrastructure. With the
combination of powerful Lenovo Servers, Intel
Optane Technology and VMware vSAN customers
can expect
 Up to 10x lower latency
 37% Better price performance
 Up to 4x the IOPs
When compared to SAS based All-Flash vSAN
solutions
