VMware Virtual SAN (VSAN) Fundamentals
VMware Virtual SAN (VSAN) is a software-defined storage solution for vSphere infrastructures. Built into the vSphere hypervisor, Virtual SAN offers a new, converged storage solution for virtual machines, potentially eliminating the need for separate, costly, SAN, and NAS storage. In this course, you'll learn how to plan, install, configure, and administer VMware Virtual SAN.
