I've already pointed out that. The reply was that vSAN is a new/untested stuff, and they prefer to stick with a trusted route.
How are they defining this? vSAN is old and very trusted. SAN is older and has demonstrated that it is not to be trusted.
vSAN isn't actually old, it's the same age as SAN. The two are one and the same. Point that out, that vSAN and SAN aren't different things so all testing of one is of the other. Ask them point blank "You seem to be confused, I think you are recommending SAN only because you don't understand what vSAN is or means or you'd understand that you couldn't make that statement. I hope this means you are unknowledgeable of this subject matter and not just trying to scam us while thinking we are fools."

I think that the management never heard about vSAN, that's all.
There is the possibility that we will go with single SAN for two hosts before the other site is ready (maybe two years) .

It's all in how you present it. Simply present it as SAN, but done in an enterprise, well thought out way.
