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

“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.”

“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 …

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

“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.”

“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.”

“The biggest reasons to recommend VMware vSAN are the cost savings, the performance increase, and the agility and scalability that you don’t get with a traditional SAN solution. With vSAN, we can maintain great performance for our customers at a predictable cost.”

“True to our motto ‘Clean into the future,’ we opted for the concept of virtualization. VMware vSphere–integrated with Virtual SAN–lays the foundation for our modern and cost-efficient infrastructure, which we can always adapt to the needs of the business.”

"The uptime we now get on battery power is over 2 hours. Our old systems would only give us 18 minutes. If you were out in the desert and your generator ran out of gas, you had 18 minutes to get it refueled and restarted. It really was just enough …

“We got IOPS that were 10 times faster than our old storage. We almost fell out of our chairs when we saw the performance from this tiny little server running Virtual SAN. It was staggering. The numbers were just unbelievable.”

“Our data center is 90 percent virtualized, and I see Virtual SAN as a very compelling storage solution to utilize for most of our virtual machines.”

“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.”

"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."
