Download  VMware vSAN

VMware vSAN™ powers the leading Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) solutions helping customers respond faster to dynamic demands, reduce TCO and prepare for tomorrow’s IT needs. Uniquely embedded in the hypervisor, vSAN™ delivers flash-optimized, high-performance storage for Hyper-Converged Infrastructure. It leverages commodity x86 components that easily scale to drastically lower TCO by up to 50% and deliver all-flash solutions for as low as half the price of competitive hybrid HCI systems. Seamless integration with VMware vSphere® and the entire VMware stack makes it the simplest storage platform for virtual machines—whether running business-critical applications, virtual desktops or remote IT applications.

vSAN 6.7 introduces a new HCI experience that delivers operational efficiencies via a modernized, intuitive user interface that reduces time-to-value for many common tasks and simplifies day two operations. New embedded monitoring within vCenter accelerates decision making with global infrastructure visibility. In addition, vSAN 6.7 delivers a more consistent, secure application experience. Resiliency features mitigate the effects of disruptive events, and stretch cluster efficiencies increase availability. vSAN 6.7 utilizes an industry first, software based FIPS 140-2 validated encryption for data-at-rest to meet strict US Federal Government as well as industry standards, such as HIPAA, for data security.

In order to run vSAN, you need to download vSphere 5.5 U1 (or above). There are no additional binaries required. vSAN does require a separate license, but is available for a free 60-day evaluation period along with vSphere – below you’ll find a link to the vSphere 6.7 downloads page. In order to run vSAN 6.7 you’ll need to upgrade to the vSphere 6.7 version; both ESXi and vCenter need to be upgraded to 6.7 versions to use all of the new vSAN 6.7 features.
