March 19th #Intel announced the Intel® #Optane™ SSD DC P4800X—the first flash device built on the much-anticipated #3DXPoint technology. This is exciting news for vSAN customers, since—as a result of Intel and VMware’s active collaboration—we are pleased to offer day 1 support of vSAN 6.5 and ESXi 6.5 with the Intel® Optane™ SSD DC P4800X. This is the first Intel Optane NVMe drive (375GB) to be made available with more coming soon (750GB and 1.5TB). The combination of vSAN and Intel’s Optane technology provides an optimal solution for a digital enterprise looking for the highest performance in all-flash storage and software-defined infrastructure (SDI). Thanks to the agile nature of vSAN and support for the broadest choice of hardware platforms, vSAN customers will be able to immediately take advantage of the performance and reliability benefits of the Optane SSD—no need to wait for the typical hardware refresh cycle of a traditional storage platform. Intel Optane Workshop Last week, Intel and VMware participated in a closed door Intel® Optane™ Technology workshop with leading industry analyst and press experts to share the joint testing we’ve been doing. The response was fantastic and demonstrated the level of excitement around both new flash technologies and software-defined storage, like vSAN.
