<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This new version part of the VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0<\/a> update, delivers on this with several powerful new features.<\/p>\n VMware vSAN<\/a> 9.0 has been redesigned to be more flexible and powerful for your most important work, and it's also cheaper. It includes a new feature that\u00a0reduces how much storage you need<\/strong>, which lowers costs. Plus, it has new ways to copy virtual machines, making it easier to\u00a0recover from a disaster<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The latest update of VMware vSAN 9.0,\u00a0introduces a host of features designed to dramatically boost performance<\/strong>, efficiency<\/strong>, and data protection<\/strong> for modern private cloud environments.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is the major new feature for vSAN Express Storage Architecture (ESA)<\/a>.\u00a0With VMware vSAN 9.0 ESA, data deduplication is no longer limited to a single disk<\/strong>. The new global deduplication feature works across the entire cluster<\/strong>, significantly boosting storage efficiency and lowering costs.<\/p>\n This process is handled post-write, meaning it happens after data is initially written to the disks<\/strong>. This approach prevents performance slowdowns<\/strong> during data writes, ensuring you maintain fast performance while still benefiting from substantial storage savings<\/strong> by eliminating duplicate data throughout your cluster (picture from VMware<\/em>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n With version 9.0. third-party replication tools<\/strong> are no longer required. VMware vSAN<\/a> 9.0 now has native data protection workflows that let you replicate VMs between clusters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This feature, which uses vSAN ESA's snapshot technology<\/strong>, offers a low RPO\u00a0of just one minute<\/strong> and can handle a large number of snapshots (up to 200) without impacting performance<\/strong> (picture from VMware<\/em>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Designed for the architecture previously known as vSAN Max<\/a>, this new capability gives you the flexibility to separate network traffic for clients and servers<\/a>. This can boost storage cluster performance<\/strong> by up to 25%.<\/p>\n You can use a high-speed network for traffic within a rack and a different network for traffic to other clusters (picture from VMware<\/em>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n VMware vSAN 9.0 makes managing high-availability stretched clusters much easier. The new Site Maintenance Mode<\/b> lets you put an entire site into maintenance with a single click<\/strong>, which is a massive time-saver.<\/p>\n There's also a new Manual Take Over<\/strong> feature, a last-resort tool for data recovery<\/strong> if a site that was already in maintenance mode is lost (picture from VMware<\/em>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If file shares are used with vSAN, the new version doubles the limit of file shares per cluster<\/strong> from 250 to 500.<\/p>\n This is a great improvement for containerized environments that need a high density of SMB and NFS<\/strong> shares.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Inside the VCF 9.0 environment, a new unified dashboard gives you a centralized view of all your storage<\/strong>, including vSAN, SAN, and NAS.<\/p>\n This dashboard provides real-time insights<\/strong> into the health, performance, and utilization of your storage, making troubleshooting and management much simpler (picture from VMware<\/em>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n With version 9.0 you can now import your existing vSAN environments<\/strong>, including HCI, stretched clusters, and 2-node configurations, into the VCF platform<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This allows you to bring your existing private cloud under the centralized management of VCF without a complete rebuilding<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Version 9.0 simplifies vSAN management and adds new features to meet requirements that were difficult to achieve<\/strong> before. The new capabilities also help keep costs under control by optimizing performance and storage efficiency<\/p>\n These new VMware vSAN 9.0 updates create a more powerful and flexible solution<\/strong>, ready for everything from modern applications to large-scale private cloud deployments.<\/p>\n This new version part of the VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0 update, delivers on this with several powerful new features. VMware vSAN 9.0 has been redesigned to be more flexible and powerful for your most important work, and it's also cheaper. It includes a new feature that\u00a0reduces how much storage you need, which lowers costs. Plus, it has new ways to copy virtual machines, making it easier to\u00a0recover from a disaster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":66832,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"no","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"linkedin_93tdZWzMZc_93tdZWzMZc":"","facebook_2879994398731222_17841400390232720":"","twitter_113568041_113568041":"","mastodon_115463926174894442_115463926174894442":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[{"account":"facebook_2879994398731222_234218296615646","service":"facebook","timestamp":1756882917,"status":"success"},{"account":"twitter_113568041_113568041","service":"twitter","timestamp":1756882954,"status":"success"},{"account":"linkedin_93tdZWzMZc_93tdZWzMZc","service":"linkedin","timestamp":1756883005,"status":"success"}],"rop_publish_now_status":"done","footnotes":""},"categories":[903,1853],"tags":[2997,1668,963,2039],"class_list":["post-66804","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-vmware-en","category-vsan-en","tag-9-0","tag-hyperconverged","tag-storage-en","tag-vsan-en","has_thumb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nolabnoparty.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66804","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nolabnoparty.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nolabnoparty.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nolabnoparty.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nolabnoparty.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=66804"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nolabnoparty.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66804\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nolabnoparty.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/66832"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nolabnoparty.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66804"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nolabnoparty.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=66804"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nolabnoparty.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=66804"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}New features in VMware vSAN 9.0<\/h2>\n
