“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 …

"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 …

“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 …

“With the new solutions installed in both our datacenters, we are able to provide a unified platform for all workloads and storage with easy management and reduced costs as a direct consequence.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“In the past, we had no ability to add storage or scale to meet our growing needs. Today with Virtual SAN, I can add more disk on the fly without even thinking about it, and memory upgrades have become a breeze.”

“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.”

“VMware allows us to be more agile, enabling a 22-person North Las Vegas IT division compared to 70 or more IT staff at similar sized municipalities.”

“Our digital transformation with VMware allows our employees to serve our citizens much more efficiently and with quicker time to market. When we need to roll out a new application for business licenses or building permits, for example, we can do that very quickly.”

"Virtualization has been so important in enabling us to get out from behind our desks and into the community, yet still securely access information when we need it. We can access floor plans from our devices in the field and quickly strategize about how to attack a fire, saving more …

“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.”

“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.”
