1 Radically simple storage for the software-defined data center VMware Virtual SAN Ready Nodes from Hewlett Packard Enterprise

2 The IT evolution continues Remain in lock-step with the changes Experience the idea economy Continuing to gain velocity Step up to the software-defined data center (SDDC) Expected to handle monumentally large workloads Choose software-defined storage (SDS) Leveraging the power of hypervisors and automation Trust Hewlett Packard Enterprise and VMware Standing at the forefront of software-defined technology 2

3 What is a VMware Virtual SAN? Radically simple hypervisor-converged storage VM VM VM VM VM SSD vsphere and Virtual SAN HDD SSD HDD SSD HDD VMware Virtual SAN TM shared datastore The basics - Software-defined storage embedded in VMware vsphere - Runs on any standard x86 server - Pools HDD/flash into a shared datastore - Managed through storage policy-based management framework - High performance through flash acceleration - Highly resilient zero data loss in the event of hardware failures - Deeply integrated with the VMware stack 3

4 Two ways to build a Virtual SAN Ready Node Completely hardware independent 1. Virtual SAN Ready Node 2. Build your own Validated, preconfigured server options are ready for Virtual SAN deployment Choose individual components Any server on the vsphere Hardware Compatibility List SSD or PCIe SAS/NL-SAS/SATA HDDs Hard Drive SSD Switch HBA/RAID controller with multiple options, available and categorized into different Ready Node profiles. using the Virtual SAN Compatibility Guide. 1 1 For additional details, refer to the VMware Virtual SAN Compatibility Guide. Components for Virtual SAN must be chosen from Virtual SAN HCL; other components are unsupported. 4
