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
