60 VMware vSAN Testimonials

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

“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.”

“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.”

"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 property and lives."

“VMware NSX is the most revolutionary development in our data center security in more than a decade. Not only do we save a significant amount of money in hardware costs, the features available through VMware NSX provides a dramatically more secure and highly available design than we could get with a physical networking appliances.”

“The school always encourages students to engage in classroom and extracurricular learning using their personal electronic devices. After the deployment of the virtual environment, students can now use their tablets to review math problems. They can also use the school’s Smart Apps Creator at home to create innovative and interesting applications though a computer installed with other OS. They are no longer facing location restrictions, and they can truly engage in mobile learning now.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Our customers are surprised by the speed and responsiveness of their applications. Cloud Carib now has the ability to host any demanding application a customer wants to run.”

“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 cost less than $1.50 a gigabyte. It was a massive difference.”

“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 is that their applications are faster, reliable, and always available.”

“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.”

“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.”
