"This product has good performance."
"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."
"I have found that the multi-homing feature is very valuable in VMware vSAN. It is an easy-to-use solution."
"As a function of our core business, it's a sought after tool that helps us provide analytical support across a wide spectrum of client needs. It's allowed us to test out in our connected restaurant - "TheWorks" - a fully-functional restaurant experience center that allows our clients to discover the value of our connected solutions firsthand. We deploy vSAN in this customer-like environment within a hyperconvergent infrastruction (HCI) to give our clients a better understanding and help optimize data and the end-users' experience."
"If we decide to expand, vSAN could offer us some flexibility. We are researching ways to set this up from a new data center, which is located somewhere different from the current location right now."
"I like the tolerance of VMware vSAN."
"Storage policies are used to perform operations in the VMs. This feature allows you to create storage policies for VMs to get performance, high availability, I/O policies, etc."
"The ease of use is great."
"It allows us to put our infrastructure in remote locations and still get the same performance we get from our onsite SAN solutions."
"I like the orchestration feature."
"The response time for read requests can be improved."
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."
"What I would like to see, for the really small customers, is the ability to have two nodes."
"The solution could be improved by having more filtered and multiple view volumes instead of a single view."
"Currently, one of the available features is shareable VMBKs. You can create the VMBK disc and you can make them shareable between the ends. But as soon as you start using this feature, you lose the ability to create snapshots."
"In a future release, they can bring in the object storage capabilities to this solution. Currently, there is not any compatibility."
"When designing the implementation for vSAN, I have noticed that it requires a minimum of six nodes, and this creates a problem when it comes to maintenance. If, out of the six nodes, I put one node in maintenance mode, then vSAN does not create other VM components."
"The main problem we had was hardware compatibility, finding the right hardware that was certified."
"The solution could maybe improve failure protection."
"The server files are larger than before."
