CHEAT SHEET INTERNAL USE ONLY VMware Virtual SAN Internal and Partner Use Only What is VMware Virtual SAN? VMware Virtual SAN is radically simple, software-defined storage. Seamlessly integrated with VMware vsphere and vcenter Server, the single software stack forms VMware Hyper-Converged Software (VMware HCS) and enables the lowest cost and highest performance hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) solutions. Uniquely embedded in the market-leading hypervisor, Virtual SAN delivers flash-optimized, high-performance enterprise-class storage. It leverages commodity x86 components that easily scale to drastically lower TCO by up to 50%. Seamless integration with the entire VMware stack makes it the simplest storage platform for virtual machines whether running business-critical applications, virtual desktops or remote IT apps. Virtual SAN 6.2, the fourth generation of the enterprise-class storage solution in VMware HCS, delivers the industry s best storage value with cost-efficient performance, radically simple management and a future-proof roadmap. Customers can increase all-flash storage capacity utilization by as much as 10x through new data efficiency features like inline deduplication, compression and erasure coding, enabling a flash-first policy by delivering 50% less all-flash $/GB versus leading hybrid HCI solutions. Virtual SAN Quality of Service controls allow mission-critical applications to receive the necessary SLAs while enhanced monitoring and reporting capabilities simplify management through existing vsphere tools.

Virtual SAN for ROBO licenses are sold in packs of 25. A pack can be used in a single site or across multiple sites. For example, five sites running five virtual machines at each location can be licensed with a single pack of 25 licenses. A site with 30 virtual machines, as an example, requires Virtual SAN Standard or Advanced licenses. If a site starts with VSAN for ROBO licensing and grows beyond the 25 virtual machine licensing limit, the upgrade to Virtual SAN Standard or Advanced licenses is easily performed with no virtual machine downtime. All Virtual SAN license editions require a minimum of 3 nodes or 2 nodes with a datacenter witness. Learn more: VSAN ROBO Solution Brief CHEAT SHEET / 3
