RED HAT ENTERPRISE
VIRTUALIZATION 3.5
• Boot from SAN - Run multiple instances of VMware ESXi on diskless servers by booting from FC, FCoE (Software &
Hardware) or iSCSI SANs. Simplify backups and disaster recovery by eliminating the need to separately backup local
attached server disks.
3
Yes, but booting from Software FCoE is not
supported
Yes, but limited to FC only
• Extended file and volume size limits - Run even the most data intensive production applications such as
databases, ERP and CRM in virtual machines
3
Yes Unlimited File 16 TB Block
• Integrated Software FCoE
3
No No
• vSphere Flash Read Cache™ (vFRC) - Pool multiple SSD devices into a single consumable vSphere Flash resource
for virtual machines with VMware based technology that is built into the core hypervisor. A software-defined
solution that allows configuration at the virtual disk level, regardless of the type of physical storage used.
3
No, CSV Cache allows the use of memory as
a read cache but lacks hypervisor integration
and granular configuration
No, FS-Cache is limited to use with network
based storage protocols and lacks hypervisor
integration and granular configuration
VMware Virtual SAN™ (VSAN)- an easy to manage, hypervisor integrated, and software-defined solution that pools compute and direct-attached storage.
(Note: VSAN is purchased separately from VMware vSphere with Operations Management 6)
• Software-Defined Storage with integrated Storage Management through vCenter - Leverage the same portal for
management as your virtual machines to define and configure VSAN policies.
3
No, Storage Spaces is a SAN replacement
add-on requiring dedicated infrastructure
and complex management using Windows
Servers as the Storage Processors
No, Red Hat Storage Server (GlusterFS) is not
a hypervisor converged solution and
introduces additional complexity through
separate management interfaces
• Converge compute and storage platforms for reduced latency and costs associated with physical footprint and
additional hardware
3
No, Microsoft does not support or
recommend converging computer and
storage
No, this isn’t possible with RHEV. May be
possible with a layered installation of RHEL +
KVM, but even then Red Hat states this is not
available for all customers
• JBOD Support for blade architectures
3
Yes No
• Fault Domains – New in vSphere 6, configure fault domains so virtual machine placement is rack aware, ensuring
components of VSAN objects are placed in dierent fault domains via automated policy
3
No No
Virtual Volumes™ (VVOLs) – A new integration and management framework that virtualizes the presentation of SAN and NAS arrays, enabling operational eciency via the presentation of array-based data service to virtualization
administrators
• Apply and enforce policy including automated placement based on policy, leveraging the Storage Policy-Based
Management Framework
3
Nothing Comparable Nothing Comparable
• Expose native array - based data services to administrators via the vSphere client
3
Nothing Comparable Nothing Comparable
• VM level control of array - based data services such as compression, deduplication, and encryption
