“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 …

“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.”

“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 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 …

“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 had a greenfield environment, set up everything new, and it was really quite simple. Literally, just a few clicks. Provisioning storage is now easy, like provisioning servers.”

“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 …

“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.”

“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.”

“As an Internet Service Provider we have to pay attention to how we spend our money and I must say that VMware Virtual SAN has proven to be a very satisfactory product, which has changed our investment profile Our service offering is also now more comprehensive as a result of …
