7.3.2 VMware vSAN
vSAN provides scale-out storage which makes it the ideal storage platform for service providers. It allows tenants to start small, and grow as needed by adding additional nodes to vSAN-enabled clusters. Using vSAN as an integral part of the tenant resource cluster blueprint, it provides that scaling up the number of tenants, and scaling out desktops for single tenant, follows a predictable and repeatable design approach.
The following table lists the current supported maximums for vSAN with vSphere 6.5 (current as of the date of this document).
