“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 …

“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.”

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

“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.”

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

“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 …

“It only takes a few clicks to make changes to Virtual SAN. Better yet, I can use my same VMware administrators to manage Virtual SAN without needing to hire SAN engineers.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 …

"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."

“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.”

"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 …
