One Destination, Three Approaches
Software-Defined Data Center
“Build Your Own”Converged
Infrastructure
Hyper-Converged
Infrastructure
• Hardware components procured separately
• Use reference architectures
• Hardware components integrated and sold in a single chassis, along with software options
• Hardware pre-integrated with virtualization software for compute, network, storage and management
• a single point of entry for the entire SDDC lifecycle

VMware Virtual SAN
• Software-defined storage software solution.
• Aggregates locally attached storage from each ESXi host in a cluster.
• Flash optimized storage solution.
• VM-Centric data operations and policy driven management principals.
• Resilient design based on a Distributed RAID architecture
– No single points of failures
• Fully integrated with vSphere.

VMware Virtual SAN
• Hybrid storage solution
– Magnetic disks (HDD)
– Flash based disks (SSD)
• Storage scale out architecture built into the hypervisor
• Dynamic capacity and performance scalability
• Object based storage architecture
• Interoperable with vSphere and enterprise features:
– vMotion, DRS, vSphere HA

Hardware Requirements
Any Server on the VMware Compatibility
Guide
• SSD, HDD, and Storage Controllers must be listed on the VMware Compatibility Guide for VSAN http://vmwa.re/vsanhcl
• ESXi 5.5 U2 Hosts: Minimum 3, Maximum 32
10Gb/1Gb NIC
SAS/SATA Controllers (HBA “pass-
through or RAID Controllers must work
in “pass-through” or RAID0” mode)
SAS/SATA/PCIe
SSD
SAS/NL-SAS/SATA
HDD
At least
1 of each
8GB USB, SD Cards, or Disk

Technical Characteristics
Virtual SAN is a cluster level feature similar to:
– vSphere DRS
– vSphere HA
– Virtual SAN
Deployed, configured and manage from vCenter through the vSphere Web Client (ONLY!).
– Radically simple
• Configure VMkernel interface for Virtual SAN
• Enable Virtual SAN by clicking Turn On
![Page 9: ebk EVO-RAIL v104](https://reader033.vdocuments.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042517/58804f251a28ab22088b5637/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Disk Management
• Each host in the cluster creates a single or multiple disk groups which contain a combination of HDDs, and SSDs.
