60 VMware vSAN Testimonials

“The stability of the system is particularly important to our company during the peak travel season in summer. With VMware Virtual SAN we increased the reliability and functionality of our storage system. If we lose a host, other servers can take over quickly– something that would have been inconceivable with the old system.”

“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.”

"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."

“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.”

“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 great – Virtual SAN allows the show to continue without disruption in case of hardware downtime.”

“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.”

“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 develop 3D applications though the software cloud, with Virtual SAN providing softwaredefined storage on the back-end for lower TCO.”

“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 business demands.”

“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.”

“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.”

"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 power to execute a graceful shutdown. Now the warfighters have the ability to keep operating until power can be restored. It is a significant new capability."

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
