Storage Sled

• Initial Honeywell config will be 2 SSDs and 6 regular drives per sled

• Has a capacity of 16 drives per sled

• Potential for additional future variations that will support very large

storage requirements of DVM for example


Virtual SAN

• Software-defined storage

embedded in vSphere

• Pools HDD/flash into a

shared datastore

• High performance

through flash acceleration

• Highly resilient - zero

data loss in the event of

hardware failures
