Time to reassess the vSAN (blocksandfiles.com)
submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

As IT leaders move away from VMware, they face a critical decision: do they stick with traditional storage architectures, or is now the time to finally unlock the full potential of an infrastructure that converges virtualization, storage, and networking technologies?

Early convergence efforts centered on hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), where storage ran as a virtual machine under the hypervisor, commonly called a vSAN. While adoption has lagged behind traditional three-tier architectures, recent advancements have significantly improved vSAN, making it worth reconsidering by addressing past shortcomings.

Id call it viable hyper-converged infastructure when it in use as such like with proxmox, but its not scoped to just being a vSAN. Its a distributed storage network. its design is way wider than just being used for HCI/vSAN/etc.
