What Are the Alternatives to VMware vSAN?

Some enterprise users may run both vSphere and vSAN, heavily relying on vSphere as their Hypervisor, but not necessarily requiring vSAN for storage. In this case, these enterprises can consider adopting an HCI-based enterprise cloud platform that supports vSphere for virtualization. Therefore, they only need to subscribe to VVS/VVEP licenses, reducing reliance on VMware and lowering storage costs.

Arcfra Enterprise Cloud Platform (AECP) provides VMware ESXi integration capabilities, allowing users to retain their full virtualization ecosystem based on VMware while taking advantage of other advanced features provided by AECP. For example, AECP offers distributed block and file storage, featuring multiple performance acceleration technologies and enterprise-grade high availability. Its performance and functionality as a vSAN alternative have been thoroughly evaluated and proven reliable.
