Demystifying Stripe Width in vSAN
In traditional SAN or storage, in order to drive maximum performance from the system, many vendors deploy a concept of wide striping across many hard drive spindles within the storage sub system. So how does vSAN do it?
Testing Performance on vSAN
When picking storage systems, it is common that many revert to performance benchmarking to differentiate between solutions.
