Extraordinary Efficiency at Cloud Scale
Scale compute and storage independently at petabyte scale via disaggregation for optimal resources utilization and lower costs.
Developer-Ready Infrastructure
- Enable developers to seamlessly consume storage to create apps at scale, while providing the governance admins need to manage the infrastructure for VMs and containers.
Integrated File Services
- Easily provision a file share with a single workflow, and use vSAN as a unified storage control plane for both block and file storage.
Powerful Stateful Services
- Leverage the vSAN Data Persistence platform framework to integrate cloud-native applications into the underlying virtual infrastructure.
Consistent Storage Policy-Based Management
- Align storage with the application demands of your VMs and container volumes. Define storage needs for a VM, volume or VMDK and let the software apply and enforce the requirements.
