Hi Charles! This is a great video! BTW one challenge I find as a non technical is going about doing sizing for HCI. If possible, can you do a simple walkthrough for HCI sizing?

What would happen for the vsan if vcenter which controlling is corrupted?

[@thecharleschow]

You will lose management capability while vcenter is offline. Storage will function as per normal. Just reinstall vcenter and it will automatically be rediscovered and you will have management capability once again.

What are your thoughts about companies like NetThunder? They let you build physical 3 tier systems without having to do any work. It seems that people virtualize to make things easier to manage but these guys seem to be able to do that with physical servers.

I'm not familiar with your company's offering. 😄 but does look interesting! Happy to discuss and explore at some point.
