VMware Storage
Increase deployment flexibility and reduce cost for VMware storage.
When leveraging VMware® environments without vSAN, finding a robust, efficient, and cost-effective storage solution is paramount. Simplyblock™ offers a cutting-edge alternative that seamlessly integrates with your existing VMware infrastructure, delivering unparalleled performance and significant cost savings.
Addressing VMware vSAN Limitations
Hardware Compatibility
vSAN clusters have specific scalability limits, such as a maximum of 32 hosts in a vSAN Max cluster. Simplyblock clusters are virtually unlimited in size for infinite growth.
Scalability Constraints
vSAN requires specific hardware configurations. Simplyblock's software-defined approach works seamlessly with a broad range of commodity hardware. This provides flexibility and reduces the need for specialized equipment.
Operational Overhead
Managing vSAN involves complex configurations and maintenance. Simplyblock simplifies storage management, reducing administrative overhead and allowing your team to focus on strategic initiatives.
Experience the Simplyblock™ Advantage
Transitioning to Simplyblock is straightforward, with minimal disruption to your existing VMware environment.
Our solution empowers your business with a more flexible, efficient, and cost-effective storage infrastructure.
Simplyblock’s MAUS architecture (Module Adaptive Unified Shared-Everything) is designed for maximum flexibility, performance, and scalability in virtualized environments. It enables modular deployment of storage services across shared infrastructure, allowing for adaptive scaling and seamless integration with existing systems. By leveraging NVMe over TCP, now natively supported in modern VMware versions, Simplyblock significantly enhances both latency and throughput for remote block storage. This unlocks the potential for disaggregated storage clusters, allowing VMware environments to scale compute and storage independently—without sacrificing performance or manageability.
Why Simplyblock Over VMware vSAN?
Cost Efficiency
Simplyblock provides an affordable storage solution without the requirement for specialized hardware and substantial license cost.
Flexible Integration
Unlike vSAN, which has limitations such as not supporting hosts participating in multiple vSAN clusters , Simplyblock offers greater flexibility in integrating with diverse VMware environments.
Simplified Management
Simplyblock streamlines storage management, reducing the complexity associated with vSAN's configuration maximums and increasing the total achievable storage capacity per cluster.
