Introduction
What is VMware vSAN?
VMware vSAN is the software-defined storage layer within VMware Cloud Foundation. It combines local disks from ESXi hosts into one shared, distributed datastore. This replaces traditional SAN or NAS storage with hyperconverged storage integrated directly into the hypervisor.
HCI
Hyperconverged Infrastructure
With vSAN, compute and storage run on the same hosts. No separate storage arrays, no complex SAN infrastructure. This simplifies management, reduces costs, and makes scaling easy — just add a node.
- No external SAN or NAS arrays needed
- Compute and storage on the same hardware
- Linear scalability: add nodes without downtime
- Central management from vCenter, no separate storage console
Functionality
Enterprise Features
vSAN offers enterprise-grade features you expect from traditional storage — but fully in software, managed via policies, and integrated with vSphere.
- Policy-based storage: RAID-1 mirroring or RAID-5/6 erasure coding per VM
- All-flash with NVMe for sub-millisecond latency
- Inline deduplication and compression for storage efficiency
- Stretched clusters for RPO=0 disaster recovery across two locations
