Overall Satisfaction with VMware vSAN

We use VMware vSAN for our virtual production environment where we run the most of our business-critical applications. We are running multiple VMs off this setup. Our servers are located across 2 different buildings but data is transferred seamlessly. It's a different setup than we used before. It's nice to be able to just add more hardware to a server to increase performance.
  • upgrade easily
  • provides failover options incase a host goes down.
  • Runs in our virtual environment.
  • The management is easy to use.
  • Data anywhere, and anytime access also with hardware failure
  • Disk Management
  • Guidance for the configs
  • Local backups
  • upgrade and adding more hosts
  • Failover hosts
  • downtime for maintenance of vSAN node.
  • upgrades are cheaper and easier
  • update on the hosts during business.
  • maintenance windows
  • high availability
We have done the POC with both products to understand the differences, similarities and to select the best option for our purpose.
At this moment in time both products still have their own pro's and con's.
At this time decision was taken to work with both products, in the future we will re-evaluate this decision.

Our VMware Datacenter is built in-house on local premises for the business critical applications. Works great when you want to be able to collocate your serves. Whenever you want to add more hardware or another host it's easy to do. We are hosting multiple hosts, we have failover options. For me this is a wonderful solution. This solution provides us things that work well.. Also, VMware vSAN is a cost-effective solution for our environment.
