“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 …

“I was blown away with the implementation of VMware Virtual SAN and VDI. No single thing that we had done in the past had caused that extent of change from a user point of view.”

“Although vSAN is a new technology, you can use functions such as data stores and HA as usual, without increasing the load on the end user. Even after 18 months since first installing the system, it runs stably and without trouble. It is great that it takes such little effort …

“With VMware technologies, the university achieved the targeted infrastructure. A high speed network infrastructure resulted in a noticeable performance increase on the network side.”

“With the Appica service based on VMware solutions, we have better performance and uptime and in the event of a disaster, we can get back up and running quickly without any loss of data.”

"Following a number of assessments, the platform of choice became increasingly clear, and VMware was chosen as the virtualization platform for our business.”

“The bottom line for why we selected VMware vSAN above any other solution was speed. When subjected to our aggressive load tests, the other HCI solutions we evaluated just fell over.”

“We couldn’t justify staying with traditional, proprietary SAN technology any longer. We recognize that software-defined data centers are the future.”

“With VMware vSAN, we’re providing better performance and high availability for IT services to students, faculty, and staf while significantly reducing storage TCO. We have seen an increase in efciency and a reduction in complexity for IT storage management.”

“VMware vSAN made storage management a non-issue for this first-time vSphere admin with vSAN, any IT organization can take an employee with no storage-specific skills and give them primary responsibility for Tier 1 storage. It’s that easy.”

“We also need to embrace concepts like deduplication, compression and software-defi ned storage – all of which are foreign concepts to a VMware admin. How we consume, look after and manage these environments from end-to-end is a learning curve.”

“VMware NSX is the most revolutionary development in our data center security in more than a decade. Not only do we save a significant amount of money in hardware costs, the features available through VMware NSX provides a dramatically more secure and highly available design than we could get with …

“As the back-end team, we like that VMware is a one-stop solution. We can make one call to VMware for support and avoid dealing with multiple vendors to get help with networking, storage, security, and encryption. But most importantly, our end users only see improved performance. All they care about …

“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.”
