“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.”

“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 …

“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.”

“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.”

“With data centrally managed, risks are reduced and HIPAA compliance is simpler, which is huge.”

“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.”

“Traditional SAN has to be scaled up. It’s very expensive, especially when you reach a ceiling. The promise of hyper converged storage is that you just keep scaling out, grow as you need to. That directly affects cost.”

“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.”

“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.”

“With VMware technologies, the university achieved the targeted infrastructure. A high speed network infrastructure resulted in a noticeable performance increase on the network side.”

“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 …

“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.”

“Nobody knows exactly what’s going to happen when a company is growing at 300% a year, so we have to be ready for anything. With our software-defined data center powered by VMware, we can scale easily, sustain our growth in a controlled and compliant manner, and respond quickly to new …

“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.”

“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 …
