Unpacking Storage in VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0
Techstrong.IT, Wednesday, August 6th, 2025
VCF 9.0 was released in mid-June and one important component in that portfolio is the storage stack. VMware's built-in storage solution VCF 9.0 had a new release of vSAN which we are going to explore further following TFD's session on this topic.
Since the early days of Project Lithium being revealed in 2010, the release of vSAN in 2013, and until today, it has been a steadily evolving system. It has always been designed to be robust and self-healing. During this process, VMware even bought the company Virsto to get access to developers with deep storage knowledge, and some were expecting technology such as the Log-Structured File System to find its way into vSAN, but only tiny pieces here and there were used.
