Supports native HCI security features to provide the secure infrastructure required for data centers.
Reduce total cost of ownership with enhanced site protection and intelligent operations


VMware has announced the 6.6 update for its storage virtualization solution, vSAN. vSAN 6.6 provides native hyper-converged infrastructure security features, lowers total cost of ownership (TCO) through enhanced site protection and intelligent operations, and increases all-flash performance by up to 50%.

The HCI security features of vSAN 6.6 include simplified management capabilities as a software-defined data encryption solution. Companies that adopt this can save on hardware purchase costs by eliminating the need to purchase expensive self-encrypting drives (SEDs) separately. Additionally, the storage platform can be monitored without operational interruption even when VMware vCenter Server is offline.

Enhanced site security supports a disaster- and downtime-free environment through local protection features. It detects conflicts between vSAN components and errors, reducing overall monitoring and operational time. It improves operational efficiency by allowing the addition and updating of new management elements without user intervention. Furthermore, vSAN 6.6 accelerates initial hardware installation and simplifies the software installation process through intelligent operations and lifecycle management features, while enabling the prediction of hardware status and lifespan via a one-click management controller.

vSAN 6.6's data service algorithms enhance the performance of key business and cloud-native applications. Support has been expanded from VMware Horizon, the existing VMware desktop and application virtualization solution, to include Hadoop, Citrix XenApp, InterSystems Cache, and Splunk. Furthermore, with the latest flash technology, enterprises can launch desired services or technologies to market using vSAN-based HCI solutions. VMware recently accelerated the performance of write-only applications, such as big data and streaming analytics, by becoming the first in the industry to support Intel Optane SSDs via vSAN.
