“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.”

“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.”

“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 data centrally managed, risks are reduced and HIPAA compliance is simpler, which is huge.”

“Based on the requirements of up-time, integration of all the different siloes and essentially the seamlessness of the architecture, VMware is, as far as we’re concerned, the proper choice – pretty much the most solid approach to hyper convergence.”

“Traditional SAN has to be scaled up. It’s very expensive, especially when you reach a ceiling. The promise of hyper converged storage is that you just keep scaling out, grow as you need to. That directly affects cost.”

“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 …

"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.”

“VDI is a technology that allows you to do more work with less resources.”

“The school always encourages students to engage in classroom and extracurricular learning using their personal electronic devices. After the deployment of the virtual environment, students can now use their tablets to review math problems. They can also use the school’s Smart Apps Creator at home to create innovative and interesting …

“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.”

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

“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.”
