60 VMware vSAN Testimonials

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 less energy. All that converts into lower costs.”

“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 reports of performance degradation.”

“We actually had clinics calling us up to say how much faster the apps were running once they were in a pure Virtual SAN environment. It seems like the more things we migrate to Virtual SAN, the more people are begging to be on it.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“VDI is a technology that allows you to do more work with less resources.”

“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.”

“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.”
