Chapter 2. Understanding Virtual SAN

In the first chapter, we discussed in detail SDDC, the role of software-defined storage, the current choices of storage in the market, and also an introduction to VMware Virtual SAN. In this chapter, we will turn our focus to what Virtual SAN is and build a basic understanding of how it is put together.

The following topics will be discussed in this chapter:

  • Why should I use VSAN

  • What is VSAN

  • Where do I start? Back to the drawing board
