vSAN is a great fit for all types of workloads, large or small. VMware Cloud Providers are adopting vSAN at an increasing rate since its release. vSAN has proven to be a robust and effective platform for business critical applications, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), test and development, and a multitude of other use cases.

As vSAN is increasingly utilized for business critical applications, it has been important to provide additional certification, support, and validation specific to several key workloads. Examples include support for Microsoft Windows Server Failover Clustering, when using a File Share Witness, as well as, support for Oracle Real Application Clusters. vSAN 6.2 also introduces support for core SAP applications.

Business critical applications, virtual desktops, and other application types have increased scalability with vSAN, without the sizing challenges often associated with legacy storage platforms. As a result, vSAN built on vSphere can easily be sized for small workloads, medium or large workloads, and anything in between.
