Storage represents an increasingly complex challenge for growing organisations. In this session, Daniel Pascua and Timo Sugliani demonstrate how vSAN technology can provide both minimal latency and high performance for specific workloads, including hands-on examples of configuring and operating clusters.

What is vSAN?
VMWare solution for hyper-converged
infrastructure (HCI) which combines
compute, storage, and management onto
industry-standard x86 servers, delivering a
software-defined, building-block approach to
IT.
Some key elements of vSAN:
• Deduplication
• Encryption
• Storage Policy-Based Management
• High Performance
• Object Storage

6. #OVHcloudSummit
Why vSAN on OVHcloud
Dedicated scalable resources
No data e-gress charges
No management cluster resource consumption
No cross-regional data charges
Predictable billing
No forced commitment
Faster deployments
Managed Service
