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.

Did small Nutanix deployments a while ago, and liked it enough to go all in on vSAN for the datacenter about 7 years ago.

No regrets. Great performance, no san storage, no San network. Easy to manage on dell readynodes.

Going to go all in with Nutanix next round. Same costs but it’s not Broadcom.
