“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 …

“We can host a significantly higher number of Citrix users on a virtual Citrix XenServer of comparable specs versus our old environment. Generally we would reach a ceiling of 40 users and then we would start seeing issues. We’ve had more than 85 users in this new environment with no …

“In the end, the Next Generation EASY Cloud allowed flexible proposals to meet user needs. Furthermore, they plan to take advantage of its high cost-efectiveness and performance by also using it on the Vistara platform, the SaaS model cloud operation management service. They are also considering moving to an all-flash …

“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.”

“We are committed to looking ahead and evolving to meet customer needs, and vSAN will continue to be an important foundation for our software-defined infrastructure and the next-generation services we will provide.”

“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 …

“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 …

"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."

“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.”

“The bottom line is that our annual support costs increase in a much smaller, more manageable way with vSAN. It’s more affordable, and with the current 132 TB of capacity, there’s plenty of room to grow; adding more just means adding another virtual node.”

“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.”

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

"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."
