Bill Leslie | VxRail with vSAN ESA

Previous generations of VSAN were unable to fully exploit hardware innovations, particularly in networking. New test data shows that VMware's vSAN 8.0 Express storage architecture or ESA as delivered with VxRail can show dramatic performance improvements when using 100 Gbit Ethernet network cards. In this special CUBE conversation, we analyze new test results that will show 100GbE cards (from Broadcom in these tests) are the preferred option for customers that want the highest performance and the most cost efficient hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) architecture. In this conversation, Bill Leslie, the Director of Technical Marketing Engineering at Dell Technologies explains the benchmark results in greater detail.
