VMware Launches Virtual SAN 6 And vSphere Virtual Volumes

VMware Inc has launched the latest version of its software defined storage solution, 6 virtual SAN (VSAN). VMware Virtual SAN 6 has significant scalability and performance enhancements including new configuration support all flash. VMware also introduce the first solution in the industry to allow the virtual machine-aware native through a wide range of systems, third storage, VMware vSphere virtual volumes (vVOLS). These two new releases are designed to enable the adoption of software defined mass storage.

VMware Virtual SAN 6 has several improvements in scalability and performance of SAN Virtual 5.5: double the number of hosts per cluster (64 hours); twice the number of virtual machines per host (now at 200); double the IOPS per host (now at 40K and 90K of the time and a half for all-flash hybrid or four and 16 times) the instantaneous depth virtual machine (VM now 32); and 31 times the size of the virtual disk (now 62TB). Virtual SAN 6 is an ideal platform for enterprise-class storage for VM storage, is built for virtual infrastructure, and ready for business-critical applications.

Virtual SAN 6 Highlights

• All new architecture Flesh VMware Virtual SAN 6 tier architecture allows BECAUSE ALL flash flash devices that are intelligently used for both caching and data persistence. Tier 1 Ê used comes buffer writing 100%, while Level 2 and For Closely Storage cache line. This architecture provides more than four times performance increase IO node For comparison a VMware Virtual SAN 5.5 provides predictable latency WHILE A millisecond Baja
• Scalability increased node / cluster 64 mentioned the new version doubles scalability for cluster node A allows customers to exceed 8 petabytes of storage capacity for a group of 64 of the United Nations
• Maximum speed almost perfect 7 million IOPS / A group of 64 nodes in the cluster VMware Virtual SAN now offers seven million input / output to the Second (IOPS) with linear scalability
• New version of enterprise-level snapshot introduces a high performance and efficient instant capacity, increasing the depth of 32 snapshots per virtual machine, which minimizes performance overhead
• Placing objects New aware intelligent virtual machines through rack server for greater application availability even in case of failure of the entire rack frame
• Extended support for blades with new support for direct attached JBOD, customers can now upload

cluster VMware Virtual SAN 6 large capacity blade server environments.
VMware vSphere virtual volumes (vVols) VMware is trying to set a new industry standard for software-defined storage that enables storage arrays to become VMware. vVols is a set of APIs that enable integration between granular matrix storage (SAN / NAS) and vSphere VM level, based VM VM. This allows storage arrays, defined by storage administrators, service delivery capacity and data for each virtual machine that give the most flexible, cost effective and easy organizations to manage storage infrastructure. vVols be managed through a common control plane. VMware has worked closely with the five design partners (Dell, EMC, HP, IBM and NetApp) and offers a total of 29 partners actively participate in the program of virtual volumes.

Availability and Prices

VMware virtual volumes sixth vSphere virtual SAN are both expected to be available in the first quarter of 2015. Virtual SAN is $ 2,495 per CPU and virtual SAN for the desktop is $ 50 per user. The architecture of all the flash will be available as an add-on for Virtual SAN $ 1,495 per CPU and $ 30 per desktop.
