Exanodes for VMware runs as a Storage Virtual Appliance, leveraging and unlocking ESX Servers storage resources and turning them into a powerful and affordable Virtual SAN in minutes. Enabling all the benefits of VMware’s advanced features without the need to invest in complex and expensive traditional networked storage.
Exanodes for VMware leverages the storage ressources of your ESX Servers (internal disks, DAS) and turns them into a powerful virtual SAN in minutes.
Running as a Storage Virtual Appliance and thanks to its multiple award-winning design, Exanodes for VMware provides the benefits of high-end storage without its costs and complexity.
Businesses can now enjoy the full benefits of server virtualization without the pain of having to deal with complex and expensive storage.
Try it. You will never have to invest in costly, complex storage solutions again.
Discover the four cornerstones of ESX Storage Nirvana
Build an affordable and powerful Virtual SAN in Minutes
Exanodes for VMware unlocks storage ressources of ESX servers, aggregates them and uses them to build a high-performance, highly available virtual SAN in minutes.
Exanodes for VMware leverages the benefits of the advanced features available in ESX (Vmotion, vHA) without the cost and complexity associated with the external storage solutions that are usually required to do it.
The Exanodes design efficiently uses the parallelism of the infrastructure, smart patented data layouts, and its self-healing capabilities to provide top-tier performance, data protection and HA features to the ESX infrastructure. As a result, disk or server failures don’t impact data integrity and continuity of service. High storage performance ensures that all virtual servers get I/O performance in line with user needs.
Eliminate storage pitfalls of ESX environments
With traditional storage solutions, you always have to choose between one pain point or another.
Affordable midrange solutions offer low performance and little data protection in case of failure. With consolidation, those two pitfalls are dangerous because many VMs can be hosted on each physical server, and they will have to share access to storage. As a result, the performance of each virtual machine is low and a storage system failure will impact many applications.
A better storage system would be preferable, but can be cost-prohibitive.
Premium systems offer the high performance and reliability that matches ESX environments requirements. But premium systems are complex and expensive. They use more advanced software features (multipathing, for example), hardware redundancy for data protection and high availability. This requires heavy investments, some time and rare competencies to be implemented and used efficiently.
That’s the virtual world paradox: businesses invest in VMware ESX to reduce costs and simplify infrastructure, but the need to invest in high-end network storage eliminates a large part of VMware ESX benefits.
Exanodes for VMware enables you to overcome storage pitfallls and get the best of your ESX infrastructure in a simple and affordable way.
