“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.”

“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 …

“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 is the leading company which can provide us trusted products and technologies. Since the target users of the Software Cloud are 28,000 faculty members and students, we can not risk ourselves to use technologies that have not been market-tested.” From Phase II onwards, students will also be able to …

“I am a huge fan of Virtual SAN. Traditional SANs require a lot of babysitting; we noticed we had TBs of over-provisioned storage. With Virtual SAN we were able to buy just what we need. We cut costs by 75% and don’t need to babysit storage anymore. System resiliency is …

“The new storage system has now been in use for six months, and every single day we notice how easy it is to maintain and how liable it is. It takes less of working time to do things compared to the old system.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“With VMware vSAN, it’s easier for team members with basic skills to configure and manage the system. Plus, having the vSAN in place helps us build apps and deploy systems faster than before.”

"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."

“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 …

“Nobody knows exactly what’s going to happen when a company is growing at 300% a year, so we have to be ready for anything. With our software-defined data center powered by VMware, we can scale easily, sustain our growth in a controlled and compliant manner, and respond quickly to new …
