60 VMware vSAN Testimonials

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Our data center is 90 percent virtualized, and I see Virtual SAN as a very compelling storage solution to utilize for most of our virtual machines.”

“With VMware, Oney Banque Accord ensures high availability of services, an essential asset for the headquarters office which hosts 90% of employees, including the main call center and business management teams.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 develop 3D applications though the software cloud, with Virtual SAN providing softwaredefined storage on the back-end for lower TCO.”

“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 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.”

“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.”
