“VMware NSX allows us to operate systems and applications in any physical network infrastructure. It allows scaling of network services along with the use of hypervisor and adapt them to the needs of applications. Customers obtain a higher variability of services at significantly lower costs.”

“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.”

“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.”

“The bottom line for why we selected VMware vSAN above any other solution was speed. When subjected to our aggressive load tests, the other HCI solutions we evaluated just fell over.”

“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.”

“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 …

“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.”

“VMware vSAN made storage management a non-issue for this first-time vSphere admin with vSAN, any IT organization can take an employee with no storage-specific skills and give them primary responsibility for Tier 1 storage. It’s that easy.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Most of the traditional SAN options would have given us 15 to 20 terabytes at a cost of somewhere between $5 and $7 a gigabyte. With the new Cisco servers and Virtual SAN we got cost savings at the rate of 1/5th of the traditional SAN, with 45 terabytes that …

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

“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.”
