VMware vSAN, which is part of the VMware ESXi kernel, provides a highly scalable, simplified and cost-effective storage solution to your IT infrastructure. It enables IT to perform software-defined storage provisioning and management through policies, regardless of your underlying storage devices. These policies, which define characteristics such as availability and performance can be applied on a per-VM level, thus eliminating complexities commonly associated with traditional storage solutions.
To present a clear and concise overview of VMware vSAN, we turn to our friends at Parallels. Their VDI solution, Parallels Remote Application Server (RAS), works with VMware ESXi (and consequently vSAN) to deliver virtual applications and desktops to any device.
Learn more by reading this article from Alex Hunter. Hunter will break down vSAN main components, list out the important features and benefits of VMware vSAN, and explain how Parallels RAS leverages the technology.
