Starline Introduces the Zealbox Vmware VSAN Appliance Kit, a Simplified Shared Storage
Released for publication
Kirchheim/Teck, July 15th 2016
Starline introduces the Zealbox VMware VSAN Appliance Kit, a simplified shared storage solution.
The Zealbox virtual SAN (vSAN) Appliance Kit is a "plug and play" solution that combines all the components of a robust cluster solution.
VMware vSAN is an enterprise-class shared storage solution for hyper-converged infrastructures that is significantly simplified and optimized for all-flash performance. You can assign storage with just a few mouse clicks in the vSphere Web Client. And you benefit from the native integration with the VMware stack.
The Zealbox vSAN Appliance Kit is perfect for those customers who are already familiar with VMware: They can now manage both storage and server applications in a single GUI.
vSAN ensures that no data is lost if a hard drive, a host, a network or a rack fails. And it even protects against entire sites failing with synchronous replication and the "stretched cluster" functionality.
Highlights - VMware vSAN:
- Simple operability: Allocation with two clicks in the standard vSphere Web Client and management automation via storage guidelines
- High performance: High I/O throughput and low latency thanks to flash acceleration. More than 6 million IOPS with a reliably short reaction time on a single all-flash cluster
- Flexible scalability: Flexible expandable storage performance and capacity through the addition of new nodes without interruption. Linear scaling of capacity and performance from 2 to 64 hosts per cluster
- Lower total cost of ownership (TCO): Up to 50% lower storage TCO from using standard x86 hardware components for a low initial investment, combined with decreasing the required data center space and operational fixed costs
- Enterprise data availability: The integrated fault tolerance, asynchronous replication over long distances and "stretched clusters" functionality achieve exceptional ratings for data availability and data security
- Advanced management: Central interface for the management of storage, computing and networking with enhanced performance monitoring and capacity management
