VMware vSAN is the industry-leading software powering VMware’s software defined storage and HCI solution. With vSphere 6.7, customers can run, manage, connect, and secure their applications in a common operating environment, across clouds and devices. Universal application platform for running any application anywhere.Comprehensive built-in security for protecting data, infrastructure, and access.Simplified customer experience for automation and management at scale.vSphere 6.7 supports both existing and next-generation applications through its: It provides a powerful, flexible, and secure foundation for business agility that accelerates the digital transformation to cloud computing and promotes success in the digital economy. VMware vSphere 6.7 is the next-generation infrastructure for next-generation applications. This chapter introduces the technology components as bulleted list: This solution is intended for IT administrator, SQL Server DBAs, Exchange mailbox administrators, virtualization and storage architects involved in planning, architecting, and administering virtualized enterprise mixed workloads on VMware vSAN 6.7. Demonstrates various vSAN fault tolerance offering for business continuity of mixed workloads.Performs backup and restore guidance for mixed workloads on vSAN.Demonstrates high availability features of running SQL Server AlwaysOn Availability Group (AAG) and Exchange Database Availability Group (DAG) on vSAN with minimal performance impact.Showcases predictable performance of running SQL Server and Exchange together within a vSAN cluster.Designs an architecture of deploying SQL Server and Exchange in a vSAN cluster.We perform daily backup operations for SQL Server and Exchange.We demonstrate the vSAN resiliency against different kind of failures, which maintains business continuity and prevents data loss for the mixed-workload environment.We measure the performance impact and consistency of running both SQL Server and Exchange together within a single vSAN cluster.This reference architecture is a showcase of using VMware vSAN all-flash as HCI for operating and managing mixed workloads in a VMware vSphere ® environment: We explore the performance capability and consistency, workload resiliency and how the two application workloads perform in daily operations. We combined the two workloads together as an example: Microsoft SQL Server-the most popular relational database platform and Exchange Server-the common mailbox system. In this solution, we provide design guidance and best practices for enterprise infrastructure administrators and application owners to run mixed workloads on VMware vSAN platform. Enterprise Mixed Workloads Running on VMware vSAN VMware vSAN is also an ideal platform to migrate your current mixed-workload environment from traditional infrastructure with the least performance and operational compromise for mission-critical applications.įigure 1. VMware vSAN™ is VMware’s premier storage solution for HCI, which provides the broadest set of HCI deployment choices for enterprise mixedworkload deployment and provisioning. It helps combine hardware silos, reduce deployment complexity and management difficulty, and save capital and operational expenditures. Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) makes it easier to plan for multiple enterprise workloads consolidation within several clusters. Dedicated infrastructure hardware for multiple environments and applications can lead to a higher cost and lower resource utilization. While this is appropriate in some cases, it is more complex and often unnecessary. Infrastructure administrators are more likely to plan new workload deployments on dedicated hardware so that the original workloads are not impacted, which ensures that both performance and availability service level agreements (SLAs) are met. The traditional approach to building out compute and storage infrastructure for multiple enterprise workloads has been dedicated resources based on the applications that run in a separated environment, with a hesitance on business-critical applications sharing resources with others. This section covers the business case, solution overview, key results, and audience of mixed workloads on VMware vSAN.
