Supermicro vSAN ReadyNodes™

Hyper-converged Storage Systems Simplify Enterprise Scale-out Deployment
The Perfect Solution for Enterprises and SMBs
Supermicro’s vSAN ReadyNodes™ focus on deploying VMware® vSAN™, a
hyper-converged solution, as quickly as possible. vSAN provides you with the ability to provision andmanage compute, network and storage resources from a single pane of management. Working
with VMware, Supermicro delivers an alternative to traditional Fiber Channel SAN based
virtualization infrastructure, which is known for its complexity and interoperability
challenges. Targeted at a multitude of use cases in tier 1/2 production workloads
and Virtualized Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), especially with all-flash, Supermicro’svSAN ReadyNodes™ introduce a new high performance storage tier optimized
for enterprise-class virtual environments that is simple, resilient and efficient.
It is a perfect solution for Enterprises ROBO and SMBs to efficiently grow andmanage virtualized infrastructure for maximum ROI.

Ready to Deploy Configurations*
A vSAN ReadyNodes™ is a preconfigured single or multi-node server hardware configuration for use with vSAN. A Ready Node configuration
includes specific types and amounts of CPU, Memory, Flash, HDD, and I/O Controller devices within each server. Each vSAN ReadyNodes™ isclassified by a Ready Node configuration profile. A defined Ready Node profiles include:
Hybrid Ready Node Profiles

All-Flash Ready Node Profiles• HY-8 Series: Up to 100 VMs per node

• AF-8 Series: Up to 120 VMs per node

• HY-6 Series: Up to 50 VMs per node

• AF-6 Series: Up to 60 VMs per node

• HY-4 Series: Up to 30 VMs per node

• AF-4 Series: Up to 30 VMs per node

VSAN READYNODES™
BENEFITS• Simple to order – Single bundles
to procure• HY-2 Series: Up to 20 VMs per node

• Radically Simple Storage for
VMs – seamless integration with
vSphere platformvSAN Architecture:
Each Ready Node profile provides adifferentiated capacity/performance
focus, targeting multiple use caserequirements. Each profile assumes
a target number of Virtual Machines
per node, utilizing an average Virtual
Machine profile size (as indicatedalongside the configuration). Other
configuration assumptions include
vSAN default failures to tolerate
policy = 1, approximately 30% freestorage capacity for future growth,and usage of a USB/HDD/SSD device
as the vSphere boot device.

*vSAN implementation requires a minimum of 3
nodes, or for ROBO configurations 2 nodes withan external witness appliance
