Terms in this definition

VCF Edge
VCF tailored to remote locations such as branches and shops, built on Broadcom's documented edge patterns. It calls for ten or more locations, hosts of eight cores or more, a 256-core ceiling per location, and edge hardware kept physically away from workloads in the data centre.
vSAN
VMware's software-defined storage, which combines local devices across a cluster's ESX hosts into one shared datastore. Available as OSA or ESA, VCF can use it as principal storage.
