vSAN (Virtual SAN)

vSAN (Virtual Storage Area Network) is a software-defined storage solution that consolidates and manages storage resources from multiple servers into a single, shared pool. It allows virtual machines to access large amounts of storage efficiently without needing dedicated hardware for each storage device. By integrating directly with servers, vSAN simplifies storage management, enhances scalability, and improves performance for virtual environments—making it easier for organizations to deploy and manage data storage flexibly and cost-effectively.
