“In the past, we were always worried about overprovisioning, but with the thin provisioning afforded by VMware Virtual SAN we’ve gained so much space, this is simply not an issue.”

"The old system used a lot of highperformance storage products, so we were prepared for very high migration costs, but VMware vSAN has achieved a new system with higher performance at lower cost as compared with the old configuration."

“With Virtual SAN being integrated into the hypervisor, I think it will scale easily. You just pick up another server and add some drives. This is going to fit our environment perfectly, especially as we start providing private cloud services.”

“VMware NSX allows us to operate systems and applications in any physical network infrastructure. It allows scaling of network services along with the use of hypervisor and adapt them to the needs of applications. Customers obtain a higher variability of services at significantly lower costs.”

“VMware allows us to be more agile, enabling a 22-person North Las Vegas IT division compared to 70 or more IT staff at similar sized municipalities.”

“Our digital transformation with VMware allows our employees to serve our citizens much more efficiently and with quicker time to market. When we need to roll out a new application for business licenses or building permits, for example, we can do that very quickly.”

"Virtualization has been so important in enabling us to get out from behind our desks and into the community, yet still securely access information when we need it. We can access floor plans from our devices in the field and quickly strategize about how to attack a fire, saving more …

“Virtual SAN allows us to have the best-of-breed HCI technology. The simplicity and flexibility is such a massive factor. It makes it easy for our cloud operations team to manage storage along with our VMware environment, and it also allows us to scale as and when we need it.”

“Most of the traditional SAN options would have given us 15 to 20 terabytes at a cost of somewhere between $5 and $7 a gigabyte. With the new Cisco servers and Virtual SAN we got cost savings at the rate of 1/5th of the traditional SAN, with 45 terabytes that …

“We had a greenfield environment, set up everything new, and it was really quite simple. Literally, just a few clicks. Provisioning storage is now easy, like provisioning servers.”

“I’m a huge fan of VMware’s software-defined storage vision, and vSAN was the perfect solution for us. It enabled us to leverage the server infrastructure we already had to increase the performance and stability of our VDI environment without having to spend $100,000 on a new SAN.”

“We can host a significantly higher number of Citrix users on a virtual Citrix XenServer of comparable specs versus our old environment. Generally we would reach a ceiling of 40 users and then we would start seeing issues. We’ve had more than 85 users in this new environment with no …

“We actually had clinics calling us up to say how much faster the apps were running once they were in a pure Virtual SAN environment. It seems like the more things we migrate to Virtual SAN, the more people are begging to be on it.”

“Our customers are surprised by the speed and responsiveness of their applications. Cloud Carib now has the ability to host any demanding application a customer wants to run.”

“With the new solutions installed in both our datacenters, we are able to provide a unified platform for all workloads and storage with easy management and reduced costs as a direct consequence.”
