CRN Staff
CRN staff compiled the top partner-friendly products that launched over the past year, then turned to solution providers to choose the winners.
STORAGE: SOFTWARE-DEFINED
VMWARE VSAN+
WINNER: OVERALL
Leveraging its virtualization expertise, VMware moved early into software-defined storage with its VSAN product and VMware HCI softwaredefined hyperconverged infrastructure technologies. The company took it a step further this year with its VMware vSAN+ hyperconverged infrastructure offering that extends vSAN to cloud-connected services to help IT administrators centralize management and improve vSAN environment efficiency. vSAN+ runs on standard x86 servers to pool SSDs and hard drives into a shared datastore with enterprise-grade security and scale. vSAN+ is managed via per-virtual-machine storage policies and connects to external cloud services. VMware vSAN+ swept the scoring for all subcategories.
