Answered a question: When evaluating Software Defined Storage, what aspect do you think is the most important to look for?

Contributed a review of VMware vSAN: I'm able to manage it easily from the web client as it's fully integrated in the VMware stack. As an improvement, I'm looking forward to VSAN Observer being transitioned into the web client.
