SanDisk releases three new reference architectures for VMWare Virtual SAN 6

SanDisk has unveiled three new reference architectures for VMWare Virtual SAN 6 utilizing solid-state drives (SSD) and Fusion ioMemory PCIe application accelerators. When coupled with VMware Virtual SAN 6, SanDisk’s PCIe and SSD-based solutions allow customers to deploy business critical applications, databases, virtual desktops and other IT workloads with less effort, while gaining exceptional performance on VMware’s hyper-converged and cost-effective VMware Virtual SAN software-defined storage infrastructure.

“SanDisk is addressing the challenges of latency and cost efficiency in the data center with our all-flash VMware Virtual SAN reference architectures, which allow customers to expand the workloads they can run on all-flash and hybrid-flash storage at significantly lower costs. These new solutions are prime examples of how SanDisk continues to collaborate with VMware. We look forward to working with our mutual partners to help customers experience the significant benefits of the flash-transformed, software-defined data center,” said John Scaramuzzo, Senior Vice-President & General Manager, Enterprise Storage Solutions, SanDisk.

“Flash is a key enabler for software-defined storage, allowing customers to get high performance and reliability out of their IT infrastructure. Together, VMware and SanDisk are making it easier for customers to accelerate the performance of their applications and fully experience the benefits of software-defined storage,” said Charles Fan, Senior Vice-President & General Manager, Storage and Availability, VMware. ..Read more
