Do More with What You Already Have to Reduce TCO
vSAN 8 with vSAN Express Storage Architecture™

Performance without Supreme Resource Ready-for-Anything Intuitive, Agile

Tradeoff and Space Efficiency Resilience Operations

Store data using RAID-6 Improved CPU efficiency Reduced failure Simplified storage
at the performance of – lower CPU usage domains improve device provisioning
RAID-1 per I/O processed availability upon failure and servicing

Consistent and scalable Up to 70% more usable Scalable native Improved storage
performance capacity snapshots for improved policies for simplified
backups and business operations
Snapshots with minimal Adaptive RAID-5 erasure workflows
performance impact coding Proactive Insights
detects anomalies to
Up to 4x better data prevent potential issues
compression

Combination of
efficiencies dramatically
reduce TCO
