Software Stack Components
VMware’s hyper‐converged infrastructure software stack is made up of three industry-leading solutions:
VMware vCenter Server is an advanced and unified server management software that provides a centralized platform for controlling your VMware vSphere environments, allowing you to automate and deliver a virtual infrastructure – all from a single console.
VMware vSphere is the world’s leading server virtualization software and the heart of a modern software-defined data center (SDDC). It helps hundreds of thousands of organizations across the globe run, manage, connect, and secure their applications in a common operating environment across clouds. New advanced security capabilities, fully integrated into the hypervisor and powered by machine learning, provide better protection and response times for security incidences.
VMware vSAN is the only vSphere-embedded, flash-optimized storage for virtual machines and containers. In combination with vSphere, it allows you to manage to compute and storage with a single platform. It seamlessly joins all storage devices across a vSphere cluster into a shared data pool. Using commodity x86 server components, vSAN-powered hyper-converged infrastructure lowers storage costs 40% or more compared to traditional server and storage architectures. There’s no need to deploy or maintain separate arrays and storage networking hardware with VMware vSAN. Its policy-based management removes the burden of provisioning and modifying numerous LUNs and data services. It provides the simplest path from server virtualization to hyper-converged infrastructure.
