Virtualization platforms are only as strong as the storage beneath them. SUSE® Harvester™ simplifies virtual machine deployment through a Kubernetes® based architecture, while supporting both locally attached and external storage models to meet different performance and scalability needs.
From a storage perspective, external SANs play an important role in delivering consistent performance, resiliency, and shared capacity for virtualized workloads. In this deployment, Dell™ PowerStore™ provides centralized, all-flash storage to the SUSE Harvester cluster, with integration handled through a CSI driver that enables Kubernetes native provisioning and management.
At the media layer, KIOXIA CM7 enterprise SSDs are designed to meet the demands of SAN environments, offering dual-port capability, high throughput, and reliability suited for virtualized infrastructure. Together, this stack demonstrates how KIOXIA storage technologies support modern virtualization platforms by enabling predictable performance and scalable architectures.
For a closer look at how this environment is configured - from CSI driver deployment to storage class enablement - watch the latest video from the KIOXIA Innovation Lab, where we walk through the integration in detail.
