It truly seems that you couldn’t possibly find a person today who hasn’t heard of virtualization technology yet. Considering its more efficient use of a physical machine’s resources, there’s no surprise whatsoever as to why it has become an industry standard for enterprise IT architecture. However, are you sure you know all there is to know?

As time goes on, fewer and fewer people tend to rely on cumbersome SANs. It doesn’t mean that they have become obsolete; it’s just that many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) simply don’t require all the broad specter of services and resources that a storage area network system can offer. That makes perfect sense: if you can farewell with a less complicated and resource-hungry configuration – why pay more?

Virtual SANs have become the newfound Holy Grail of small infrastructures. And why not? They offer software-defined storage solutions that support HCI systems and leave external shared storage out of the picture. An introduction of virtual SAN solutions to the market has changed a lot, opening the way for simple storage configurations that can provide maximum possible performance with minimum possible resources required, respectively.

Since the market has emerged, it didn’t take long to recognize the leaders, which are StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN) and VMware virtual SAN (vSAN). All else being equal, neither is considered better or worse. However, each IT environment is, in a way, unique. I don’t need to tell you about the multitude of configurations out there. So, with the diversity of HCI systems and hardware requirements in mind, this begets a question: are these solutions really giving away an equal performance, all things considered?

There isn’t always time (or desire) to configure and deploy each VM manually. Therefore, StarWind has decided to make the said process for its users easier by automating the deployment of StarWind VSAN for vSphere VMs. The present guide will take through the steps necessary to achieve future automation.
