Since Broadcom acquired VMware, IT executives, system administrators and storage engineers have been looking around, wondering whether they need to start thinking about alternatives. For many of them, their organizations will be heavily reliant on VMware products for virtualization and high availability. While some may be able to absorb licensing changes and price hikes, others are less confident, and consequently the time is right to begin assessing the level of dependence their organization has on VMware.
In our infographic below, we look at just one aspect of the VMware portfolio of products: VMware vSAN. Its popularity as a highly available virtual SAN solution is well known, but that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily the right choice for businesses in the new VMware era of Broadcom ownership. The infographic compares vSAN against StorMagic SvSAN, highlighting how the latter offers a far more flexible, lightweight solution for delivering highly available hyperconverged storage.
