VMare vSAN 9.1 Deployment and Operations (Paperback)

Paperback. Modern virtualization infrastructure demands more than compute resources. Organizations need storage that can scale efficiently, protect critical workloads, deliver predictable performance, and remain available when hardware, network, or site-level failures occur. VMware vSAN 9.1 Deployment and Operations provides a practical guide to designing, deploying, managing, optimizing, and troubleshooting VMware vSAN 9.1 environments. It takes you from the fundamentals of hyperconverged infrastructure to real-world production operations, with focused coverage of vSAN Express Storage Architecture (ESA), storage policies, resilience, capacity planning, performance, monitoring, and disaster recovery. Inside this book, you will learn how to: Understand VMware vSAN 9.1 architecture and hyperconverged infrastructurePlan production-ready vSAN clusters, hardware, storage, and networkingDeploy and configure vSAN 9.1 environmentsWork with vSAN ESA and understand its differences from OSAConfigure Storage Policy-Based Management and data protectionUnderstand RAID-1, RAID-5, RAID-6, failure tolerance, and failure domainsUse Auto-RAID and storage-efficiency capabilitiesPlan and manage vSAN capacity as workloads growConfigure high availability and prepare for host, device, and network failuresUnderstand resynchronization, rebuilds, maintenance, and recovery operationsMonitor cluster health, capacity, devices, and performanceOptimize IOPS, latency, throughput, networking, and workload performanceTroubleshoot storage, networking, capacity, performance, and degraded-object issuesDesign stretched clusters, 2-node environments, and advanced vSAN deploymentsDevelop backup, replication, disaster recovery, and business continuity strategiesManage cluster expansion, lifecycle operations, upgrades, and long-term infrastructure growthApply vSAN to enterprise, database, VDI, and mixed workloads Beyond configuration procedures, this book focuses on the operational thinking required to manage vSAN effectively. You will learn how to evaluate capacity, resilience, performance, failure domains, workload requirements, and recovery objectives before making infrastructure decisions. Whether you are learning VMware vSAN for the first time, preparing to deploy a new environment, or responsible for maintaining an existing production cluster, this guide provides a practical foundation for building and operating resilient vSAN 9.1 infrastructure. By the end of the book, you will have a solid understanding of vSAN 9.1 deployment, ESA architecture, storage policies, capacity management, high availability, performance optimization, troubleshooting, and disaster recovery-from initial planning through production operations.
