Quick stats for the VSAN HCL

06.13.2014 by William Lam // 3 Comments

I noticed there was a new blog post this morning from Wade Holmes on an update to the VSAN HCL and I thought it might be useful to provide some quick stats on all the partners who have supported components listed on the VSAN HCL such as the storage controllers, SSDs and MDs. As of today (06/13/14), the information below is the latest from the VSAN HCL. I will make adjustments to the Google doc as updates are made to the VSAN HCL.

Disclaimer: The VMware VSAN HCL should still be used as the official source when selecting components for your VSAN environment.
