The Economics of Disaggregated Private Cloud Storage

The Signal65 study evaluated the overall economics of a VCF environment deployed with disaggregated vSAN storage compared to the same environment deployed with a leading SAN array. To create an even comparison between storage solutions, the compute environment was kept identical when modeling both solutions. The analysis modeled both environments over a 5-year period and compared costs of hardware, support, licensing fees, and operational costs. Operational costs were calculated using an in-depth analysis of the administrative time and complexity required for each solution.
