“VMware vSAN Offers Scalability and Performance With Integration Into vSphere Console”

4.0
Oct 31, 2025
I would say VMware vSAN has proven itself as the great tool with great scalability, so I can easily add more hosts and disks without any long and complex setup. The way it integrates with vSphere, it eases my work by offering to control everything from a single console.
