The Vsphere Storage APIs for Array Integration package (VAAI) allows storage partners to more closely integrate storage arrays with Vsphere. Qsan Trio-NAS Series is now VMware VAAI NAS ready and supports related storage optimisations for VMware Storage Vmotion, provisioning VM from template, thin provisioning disk performance improvement, and VMFS share storage pool disk scalability.

Most Vspheres are deployed in datacentres with storage arrays. And both storage arrays and Vmware provide overlap functions such as cloning, snapshots, mirroring, and replication. The Vsphere Storage APIs for Array Integration package (VAAI) allows storage arrays to integrate with Vsphere. With VAAI, those storage operations can now be executed on the storage arrays to support larger workloads in the virtual environment.

Qsan Trio-NAS Series consolidates NAS and IP-based iSCSI SAN in one box that can in turn help users to consolidate costly IT infrastructure. Meanwhile, users do not need multiple file servers for SMB, NFS, AFP, FTP, and WebDAV; The Trio-NAS Series supports all these protocols in one box including ISCSI and fibre channel. Enabling VAAI support, the Qsan Trio-NAS Series aims to become the most cost-effective and efficient storage solution for SMBs.
