Time to reassess the vSAN (blocksandfiles.com)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

As IT leaders move away from VMware, they face a critical decision: do they stick with traditional storage architectures, or is now the time to finally unlock the full potential of an infrastructure that converges virtualization, storage, and networking technologies?

Early convergence efforts centered on hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), where storage ran as a virtual machine under the hypervisor, commonly called a vSAN. While adoption has lagged behind traditional three-tier architectures, recent advancements have significantly improved vSAN, making it worth reconsidering by addressing past shortcomings.

"comparing VMware vSAN, Nutanix AOS Storage and VergeIO VergeOS"

Hint: There is no vSAN/UCI/HCI silver bullet.

They all suffer from performance related issues either up front or over time, have scalability deficits or limitations and lackluster price to performance ratios (Nutanix can suck my 5yr forced upgrade balls).
