5 VSAN automates storageprovisioning and management with a self-tuning VM-centric approach. It enables two-click storage provisioning and automaticallymaintains the storage capacity, performance and availability required for individual VMs. By enabling a scale-out architecture withbuilt-in read/write Flash caching, it delivers high performance, resiliency against multiple hardware failures and dynamic scalability. Itreduces both capital and operating expenditures to deliver significantly lower TCO.
