As a design partner on vVols we were also chosen by VMware as their Fiber Channel reference platform for the development of vVols. Today I’m very pleased to offer a guest article from Eric Siebert, HP Solutions Marketing Manager and our very dear colleague on the vVols partnership.Īt HP we’ve put considerable effort into supporting VMware Virtual Volumes (vVols) on our 3PAR StoreServ arrays. HP is a vVols design partner and one of the few partners to deliver Day 1 support for vVols. The main reason why vVols is such a disruptive technology is because of the wide support from the storage partner ecosystem. The first requirement is vSphere 6.0 with integrated vVols and SPBM features, and the other is a vVols-enabled array. There are two parts needed for customers to embark on the vVols transformation.
vVols is an integration framework to make 3 rd party storage systems VM-aware and thereby enables control over native storage capabilities using the VMware control plane for SDS management: Storage Policy-Based Management. In Q1 of this year we announced the general availability of vSphere 6.0, which includes a key capability to the VMware vision for Software-Defined Storage: Virtual Volumes (vVols).
