DELL VMWARE 6.0 UPDATE

With the changes in vSAN 7 Update 1, it is encouraged that all vSAN Sizing go through the vSAN Sizing tool.В This tool also includes a 'Quick sizer' that allows for reverse sizing calculations.ДЄdhere to the VMware Compatibility Guide (VCG) This document was formerly the vSAN Design and Sizing Guide. Select vSAN Ready Node partners offer pre-installed vSAN on ready nodes.

vSAN Ready Nodes are ideal as hyper-converged building blocks for larger data center environments looking for automation and a need to customize hardware and software configurations. VxRAIL software is fully loaded onto a partnersвЂ™ hardware appliance and includes VMware vSAN.ДЄ vSAN Ready Node is a validated server configuration in a tested, certified hardware form factor for vSAN deployment, jointly recommended by the server OEM and VMware.

Custom built using components from the VMware Compatibility Guide for vSANДell EMC VxRAILв„ў combines VMware compute, networking, and storage resources into a hyper-converged infrastructure appliance to create a simple, easy to deploy, all-in-one solution.

Certified vSAN Ready Nodes from any of the leading server OEMs.

Turn key deployment using appliances such as Dell EMC VxRail and Hitachi UCP-HC.

There are three ways to build a vSAN cluster: This document focuses on helping administrators to correctly design and size a vSAN cluster, and answer some of the common questions around number of hosts, number of disk groups, cache sizing, and number of capacity devices along with detailed configuration questions to help to correctly and successfully deploy vSAN. The all-flash configuration uses flash for both the caching layer and capacity layer. This delivers enterprise performance and a resilient storage platform. The hybrid configuration uses server-based flash devices to provide a cache layer for optimal performance while using magnetic disks to provide capacity and persistent data storage. VSAN provides two different configuration options, a hybrid configuration that leverages both flash-based devices and magnetic disks, and an all-flash configuration.

DELL VMWARE 6.0 MANUAL

With vSAN, many manual storage tasks are automated - delivering a more efficient and cost-effective operational model. Using VM-level storage policies, vSAN automatically and dynamically matches requirements with underlying storage resources.

vSAN is the first policy-driven storage product designed for vSphere environments that simplifies and streamlines storage provisioning and management. vSAN activates the rapid provisioning of storage within VMware vCenterв„ў as part of virtual machine creation and deployment operations. vSAN aggregates locally attached disks of hosts that are members of a vSphere cluster, to create a distributed shared storage solution. VMwareВ® vSANв„ў is a hyper-converged, software-defined storage (SDS) platform that is fully integrated with VMware vSphereВ®.
