Accelerating the Path to Private Cloud with SDS and VMware VSAN Ready Notes from Intel


Research shows that 80% of workloads will run on a cloud architecture by 2024.1 To successfully navigate the transition to private cloud, customers need a software-defined infrastructure (SDI) that is automated, resilient, and programmatically extensible. Modernizing storage resources is an essential element to SDI, driving up customer demand for SDS solutions. To increase reseller access to the SDI market and enable them to help customers modernize storage resources, Intel is delivering a new server product optimized for SDS. The Intel Server Products for Cloud ??? VSAN Ready Nodes are fully-validated, pre-configured server systems that include VMware certifications for VSAN. With these VSAN Ready Nodes from Intel, resellers have access to the software-defined storage market, making it easier to deliver SDS solutions to customers.


Cost Effective, Scalable Storage with Intel and VMware VSAN
