Fastest NFS Storage for VMware is Simpler than SAN

VMware has fundamentally changed server and desktop deployment, provisioning and operation. Let BlueArc help you realize the benefits of virtualization for your tier 1 applications through

  • Simplified network storage for VMware
  • Breakthrough performance at scale
  • Lower TCO with broader VMware deployments and storage efficiency
BlueArc is an ideal storage system for expanding to 100s or even 1000s of virtual machines or virtual desktops. With one of the industry’s largest file system and consolidation ratios, and blistering I/O operations per second performance, you can eliminate system sprawl and dramatically simplify and streamline your storage infrastructure without compromising on performance or scale in order to realize the TCO benefits virtualization delivers.

Server Virtualization

The economic benefits of both server and storage consolidation are well understood, but they are often separate drivers behind (1) cost savings, and (2) simplifying application growth challenges associated with IT infrastructure. VMware provides the virtualization essential to server consolidation for optimized resource utilization that achieves improved levels of cost and energy efficiency. BlueArc provides an ideal complement, solving the storage side of this issue by providing an efficient means to address storage consolidation that directly maps to the needs of a VMware infrastructure. When combined, VMware and BlueArc provide a winning solution to improve consolidation, application growth and performance.

  • Provision storage as easily as you deploy virtual machines
  • Easily backup and recover data from within vCenter
  • Use IP based NFS storage and eliminate complexity
Customers interested in leveraging NFS for its simplicity and cost advantages while implementing enterprise-class storage that can meet their performance and scalability requirements today and going forward should consider BlueArc for their VMware environments.

  • Optimized performance for VMware random I/O
  • Sustainable performance at scale for 100s to 1000s of virtual machines
  • High IOPS eliminates NAS sprawl created by other solutions
BlueArc's performance over NFS is just fantastic no matter the size of the virtual server or the number of virtual servers.

  • Simplicity of NAS reduces storage infrastructure costs
  • Greater scalability and capacity enables consolidation to eliminate NAS sprawl
  • Space efficient writable clones and automated data migration reduce storage footprint
We went with the NAS instead of a SAN because, when you need storage it’s available easily. Say user X needs 500 gigabytes – on the BlueArc Mercury, I can literally, in just a handful of clicks, have 500 gigabytes of storage without having to manage a single server.
