• Extend virtualization to • Enhance cluster security • Cross-cluster rebalancing for • Seamlessly extend
storage using existing tools with micro-segmentation consistent performance workloads to the cloud
• Consistent app • Automate infrastructure • vSAN overview, capacity, • Rapidly adopt public cloud
performance from native with policy-based troubleshooting dashboards with similar processes and
architecture management reduce time-to-resolution tooling

Look at infrastructure
holistically
• Device types, host count,
network speed, etc.
Connectivity
Test on HCL approved
hardware only!
VMware vSAN
• vSAN embedded into vSphere
Consumed
Hot spare capacity (e.g. N+1) Actions that consume space
Capacity for object components • Changing a policy
• Host/disk group evacuations
Cluster Capacity • Repairs/rebuilds
• Rebalancing
• On disk format changes
Consumed
Large quantities of VM policy
Consumed
Deduplication
RAID-1 • Per disk group
• Occurs when destaging to
vSphere vSAN capacity tier
• 4KB fixed blocks
Compression
Cache • Occurs after dedup, prior to
data being destaged
• If block is compressed <= 2KB
Capacity

Traditional Storage Provisioning
• Performance and Protection is
designed at the Physical HDD Level
• Raid Groups
• Storage Pools and etc
Datastore Datastore
• Carved in to LUNs and presented
into Datastores

• Many VM’s inherit the same profile
RAID 1 - Construct RAID 5 - Construct
• Changing performance / protection

* 3 Different Consoles to Manage to provision storage * Using the same vCenter console to provision storage
vSAN Storage Provisioning: How Does It Work?
• No Physical RAID Groups
Storage Policy 1 Storage Policy 2
• Almost like a JBOD
