Add External Storage to VMware vSAN™ with ATTO XstreamCORE®

VMware vSAN™ users need a reliable, cost-effective and flexible way to add external storage to vSAN hosts. ATTO XstreamCORE® intelligent Bridges are the solution, allowing vSAN admins to grow and deploy storage without traditional limitations.

With ATTO XstreamCORE intelligent Bridges, vSAN system architects can add flexible, external storage to vSAN by creating a direct-attached storage environment with disaggregation using Fibre Channel as the transport protocol.

Key Solution Benefits:

• Flexible: grow and deploy storage as needed
• Easy: no modification to VMware ESXI™ or vSAN required
• Resilient: full multipathing support via ATTO Multipath Director™
• Economical: use your choice of hardware and avoid vendor lock-in

XstreamCORE is quick to install and configure, allowing the use of JBODs for storage expansion in vSAN environments. They are virtually invisible to storage networks, allowing vSAN to seamlessly configure and manage the newly disaggregated storage and provide other key functions.
