Virtual Desktop"Before Virtual SAN, we had no scalability. Now... it's a piece of cake; if I want to add additional capacity, I just add additional capacity. I don't have to worry about whether my SAN can grow or not."
—Alan Sprague, System Administrator,
Oregon State University
Production Environments"Virtual SAN enables us to scale our storage infrastructure and while providing the necessary redundancy. This allows us to be more agile and bring our solutions to market faster."
—Frans Van Rooyen Cloud Architect, Adobe
Disaster Recovery Target“Virtual SAN allows us to build geographically dispersed clusters in a metro area, allowing a level of redundancy previously not available. More importantly, Virtual SAN provides an unmatched TCO for private cloud infrastructures."
—Dave Burns, VP of Tech Ops, Cincinnati Bell
Staging and Testing/Development"[Virtual SAN] will free up time wasted to basic storage management, allowing me more time to concentrate on my job and tasks at hand."

1. RADICALLY SIMPLE
• Flash accelerated – or use all-flash• Granular and linear scaling
2. HIGH PERFORMANCE AND ELASTIC
• Server-side economics - Lower CapEx• Higher administrator productivity - Lower OpEx• No large upfront investments
3. LOWER TCO
THIS WAY
SIMPLE
AUTOMATED
Enables dynamic storage provisioning with per-VM granularity and incremental hardware purchase
GRANULAR
Hardware agnostic, allowing for full customization to meet both capacity and performance requirements
FLEXIBLE
Leverages server-side economics, enables high-resource utilization with a predictable, linear cost curve
COST-EFFECTIVE
ALL THE BENEFITS OF VIRTUALIZATION, NOW FOR STORAGE.

New applications are producing more data than ever, challenging enterprises to adopt a simpler, more streamlined and cost-e�ective approach to storage.
A NEW STRATEGY FOR ENTERPRISE STORAGE
On the journey to the software-defined data center, organizations gain the cost and operational benefits of virtualization for all data center infrastructure
and they achieve outcomes such as greater data center e�ciency, improved security, high availability, and faster delivery of infrastructure and applications.

Scale Up• Add flash devices to existing
hosts = increased performance
• Add hard-disk drives or flash devices = increased capacity
Scale Out• Add hosts with hybrid or
