The Perfect Solution for Enterprises and SMBs
Supermicro’s vSAN ReadyNodes™ focus on deploying VMware® vSAN™, a
hyper-converged solution, as quickly as possible. vSAN provides you with the ability to provision and
manage compute, network and storage resources from a single pane of management. Working
with VMware, Supermicro delivers an alternative to traditional Fiber Channel SAN based
virtualization infrastructure, which is known for its complexity and interoperability
challenges. Targeted at a multitude of use cases in tier 1/2 production workloads
and Virtualized Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), especially with all-ash, Supermicro’s
vSAN ReadyNodes™ introduce a new high performance storage tier optimized
for enterprise-class virtual environments that is simple, resilient and ecient.
It is a perfect solution for Enterprises ROBO and SMBs to eciently grow and
manage virtualized infrastructure for maximum ROI.
Ready to Deploy Congurations*
A vSAN ReadyNodes™ is a precongured single or multi-node server hardware conguration for use with vSAN. A Ready Node conguration
includes specic types and amounts of CPU, Memory, Flash, HDD, and I/O Controller devices within each server. Each vSAN ReadyNodes™ is
classied by a Ready Node conguration prole. A dened Ready Node proles include:
Hybrid Ready Node Proles
• HY-8 Series: Up to 100 VMs per node
• HY-6 Series: Up to 50 VMs per node
• HY-4 Series: Up to 30 VMs per node
• HY-2 Series: Up to 20 VMs per node

vSAN Architecture:
Each Ready Node prole provides a
dierentiated capacity/performance
focus, targeting multiple use case
requirements. Each prole assumes
a target number of Virtual Machines
per node, utilizing an average Virtual
Machine prole size (as indicated
alongside the conguration). Other
conguration assumptions include
vSAN default failures to tolerate
policy = 1, approximately 30% free
storage capacity for future growth,
and usage of a USB/HDD/SSD device
as the vSphere boot device.
All-Flash Ready Node Proles
• AF-8 Series: Up to 120 VMs per node
• AF-6 Series: Up to 60 VMs per node
• AF-4 Series: Up to 30 VMs per node
*vSAN implementation requires a minimum of 3
nodes, or for ROBO congurations 2 nodes with
an external witness appliance
