VMware vSAN review
Overall Satisfaction with VMware vSAN
We use VMware vSAN for our virtual production environment where we run the most of our business-critical applications. We are running multiple VMs off this setup. Our servers are located across 2 different buildings but data is transferred seamlessly. It's a different setup than we used before. It's nice to be able to just add more hardware to a server to increase performance.
Pros
- upgrade easily
- provides failover options incase a host goes down.
- Runs in our virtual environment.
- The management is easy to use.
- Data anywhere, and anytime access also with hardware failure
Cons
- Disk Management
- Guidance for the configs
- Local backups
- upgrade and adding more hosts
- Failover hosts
- downtime for maintenance of vSAN node.
- upgrades are cheaper and easier
- update on the hosts during business.
- maintenance windows
- high availability
We have done the POC with both products to understand the differences, similarities and to select the best option for our purpose.
At this moment in time both products still have their own pro's and con's.
At this time decision was taken to work with both products, in the future we will re-evaluate this decision.
