What you'll learn

Provisioning storage for virtualized workloads often means maintaining a separate, costly SAN or NAS array alongside your compute infrastructure. In this course, Implementing VMware vSAN, you’ll gain the ability to design, deploy, and validate a hyperconverged vSAN cluster that turns local host storage into resilient, policy-driven shared storage for your VMs. First, you’ll explore vSAN’s architecture and cluster requirements, including networking, disk groups, and the OSA and ESA storage architectures. Next, you’ll discover how to design a vSAN deployment; choosing a cluster topology and the RAID/erasure coding and storage policies that match your workloads’ performance and availability needs. Finally, you’ll learn how to deploy, configure, and validate a vSAN cluster and its storage policies using the vSphere Client. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of VMware vSAN needed to deliver resilient, software-defined storage for your virtualized environment.
