“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.”

“With vSAN we’ve reduced complexity, simplified management and enabled our ability to grow modular storage on demand — that’s good for both us and our customers. As soon as a customer sees that fewer physical components are needed, it becomes clear that the solution requires reduced administration, less space, and …

“I also found the management of it, from my perspective, to be so much easier. Our ability to respond to requests and general administrative responsiveness has been so much better. Before, it was like being on call all the time. Now with VSAN, I don’t have to worry at all.”

“VMware Cloud Foundation makes managing our VMware infrastructure a lot easier by bringing the SDDC toolset together into a unified infrastructure platform. It gives me the agility and manageability I need as the sole network admin supporting a growing portfolio of businesses.”

“VMware Cloud Foundation stood out to us as the leading solution to meet our technology needs from the perspectives of architecture and price and also for the flexibility to change and adapt in the future.”

“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.”

"They have had zero trouble with VMware vSAN since installing it at the beginning of 2015. It is very stable and demonstrates performance that dramatically surpasses what was originally expected. They are free to choose their own hardware and design clusters, which avoids an additional increase in operational load."

“When building shared storage, it took several months to progress from the gathering of information to design, estimates, careful planning, maintenance of surrounding environments, delivery, testing, and actual implementation. Since this requires a high-level of knowledge, it also took time to prepare the operations staff. However, with vSAN, simply procuring …

“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 …

“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.”

“It’s straightforward to monitor and manage vSAN storage. Now any of our system engineers can help out when it’s time to add or maintain storage.”

“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.”

“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 …

“In the end, the Next Generation EASY Cloud allowed flexible proposals to meet user needs. Furthermore, they plan to take advantage of its high cost-efectiveness and performance by also using it on the Vistara platform, the SaaS model cloud operation management service. They are also considering moving to an all-flash …

"VMware vSAN achieves higher IOPS than expected and doesn't require any cumbersome volume (LUN) management. It ensures high performance and expandability without the need for dedicated storage, allowing us to provide highly reliable storage services for the enterprise user."
