5 Reasons for All Flash vSAN Storage



1. High Performance  
All flash vSAN with a mix of NVMe, SAS SSD allows for superior input/output operations per second (IOPS) performance needed for all enterprise workloads. vSAN 6.7 can give  more than 500K IOPS with sub-millisecond read/write latency.  When compared to   spinning disks storage systems, all-flash vSAN system wins in all performance benchmarks.

2. Enterprise-class capability & Capacity
VSAN now provides all enterprise class storage performance and security such as Encrption, DeDupe, Compliance with all major standards: PCI-DSS, HIPPA, DISA, STIG, FedRAMP etc. Along with vRealize, vSAN can used for all data center automation functions to quickly provision storage, storage insights, storage resource management etc.

3. Guaranteed availability and resiliency
vSAN storage can deliver 99.9999 percent availability. All flash vSAN delivers high availability and high resilience with vSphere HA, Stretched clusters, Smart Rebuild/Rebalancing  to ensure highest data integrity.

4. Run multiple workloads 
High cluster level storage performance allows users to run multiple enterprise apps within the same cluster. Moreover, vSAN is now certified to run SAP HANA, Oracle, MS-SQL etc. This gives IT admins the confidence to run all mission critical IT apps in vSAN.  In addition to standard block storage services, vSAN with NexentaConnect can provide high-performance NFS file services - to provide unified storage solution.

5. DR & Data protection optimizes all-flash storage
Backup and recovery is always one of the highest IT priorities. VMware tools such as vSphere and other 3rd part tools provide enterprises the highest data protection. vSphere Replication, Rapid Array replication across stretched clusters, Storage vMotion etc., leverage all-flash storage best in class data protection.
