DAS Over FC Technology Allows ATTO to Disaggregate Storage and Complete vSAN Certification Suite

ATTO Technology, Inc. completed the VMware vSAN ReadyNode certification suite in a manner that has never been done before. The test bed itself was formulaic, featuring three Dell R640 servers as hosts. No internal storage existed, aside from an SD card for boot and a single SAS SSD for logging, and all storage was placed within external SAS JBODs. What made this test groundbreaking was the storage configuration: the transport protocol was Fibre Channel (FC).
