- **Description:** VMware vSphere is a server virtualization platform that uses the ESXi hypervisor to abstract hardware resources. VMware vSAN is a software-defined storage solution that pools disk space from across a cluster to create a shared data store, typically deployed as part of a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) stack. Both products are now core components of Broadcom's VMware Cloud Foundation division.
