What is HCI?
• Hyper Converged Infrastructure (HCI) is the integration of
– Compute virtualization (vSphere)
– Storage virtualization (vSAN)
– Hardware
• vSAN Ready Nodes
– Certified hardware running vSphere + vSAN
– 15+ server OEMs, lots of choices from each vendor
– Any aspect of the Ready Node can be customized further via flexible component HCL
• VxRail (sold by Dell EMC, powered by vSAN)
– Appliance available in various different options
– Prescriptive hardware and software, fully integrated at factory

vSAN’s mission: Radically simple HCI with choice
• Our mission:
– Build storage HCI that is radically simple to buy, set up, operate
– Build storage HCI for vSphere admins
– Be easy for 2 nodes, and 1000 nodes alike
– Allow for full automation of every aspect of management
• What this means:
– Build an "appliance-like" experience, on your choice of hardware
– Deep integration with vSphere and vSphere workflows
– All aspects of vSphere need to be radically simple
– Choice and Simplicity

vSAN Health and VUM
• What if something goes wrong during a rolling upgrade?
– Fear prevents customers from doing cluster upgrades
• vSAN Health integration solves this
– Check vSAN Health before starting upgrade
– Check vSAN Health after host reboots with new SW/FW
– Abort upgrade, don’t exit Maintenance Mode when issue is detected
• Safety-net to give peace of mind
