SSDs
SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK), a global leader in flash
storage solutions, today announced support for an all-flash VMware
Virtual SAN™ 6 architecture for business-critical applications and
databases. Deployed at entry-level as a 4-node cluster that can
scale up to a total of 64 nodes, the new server design empowers
vital business applications, such as database transaction
processing and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) applications,
to perform more than two million transactions per minute (TPM).
This new Virtual SAN 6 architecture leverages SanDisk Lightning®
Gen. II 12Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) SSDs and CloudSpeed SATA
SSDs to provide the cache and persistent storage tiers required for
highly-reliable, enterprise-class application performance.

“SanDisk has been a very strong VMware Virtual SAN partner from
the onset, as we clearly saw the potential for hyper-converged
storage solutions to significantly reduce IT infrastructure
complexity and related storage costs,” said John Scaramuzzo, senior
vice president and general manager, Enterprise Storage Solutions,
SanDisk. “We are deeply committed to our expanding
relationship with VMware and continue to introduce new solutions
that allow our joint enterprise customers to fully maximize data
center resources. We are also honored to be a VMware partner in the
development of the VMware vSphere® APIs for IO Filtering.”
The all-flash VMware Virtual SAN 6 architecture helps customers
increase business agility and productivity by enabling IT to
provision services faster, increase user satisfaction and disaster
recovery service levels for business critical applications.
Additionally, customers can reduce capital expenditures by avoiding
the purchase of additional storage resources to accommodate peak
workloads. Coupling VMware solutions with SanDisk flash technology
also reduces points of failure by simplifying data center storage
infrastructure, which eases system management and reduces
operational expenses.
“This new all-flash VMware Virtual SAN design from SanDisk
provides our mutual customers with increased levels of virtual
machine (VM) performance density with scalability and the necessary
price/performance SSD attributes,” said Charles Fan, senior vice
president and general manager, Storage and Availability Business
Unit, VMware. “VMware is designed to meet the demands of today’s
mobile workforce, and is optimized for software-defined data center
architectures. By partnering with SanDisk to certify flash
solutions for VMware vSphere® and VMware Virtual SAN environments,
we can help our customers derive greater efficiency, flexibility
and IT resource utilization to power their enterprises.”

architecture, visit booth #635 during VMware Partner Exchange 2015
