60 VMware vSAN Testimonials

“Storage increased dramatically, performance was 10 times faster—we’ve seen IOPS of 70,000, versus 6000 on traditional servers the same size—and the overall management is simple.”

“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.”

“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 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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

"They have had zero trouble with VMware vSAN since installing it at the beginning of 2015. It is very stable and demonstrates performance that dramatically surpasses what was originally expected. They are free to choose their own hardware and design clusters, which avoids an additional increase in operational load."

“When building shared storage, it took several months to progress from the gathering of information to design, estimates, careful planning, maintenance of surrounding environments, delivery, testing, and actual implementation. Since this requires a high-level of knowledge, it also took time to prepare the operations staff. However, with vSAN, simply procuring a server machine is the same as procuring storage, and therefore the transfer of actual operations doesn't take that much time. The migration of existing environments and building of new environments takes a fraction of the time."

“Although vSAN is a new technology, you can use functions such as data stores and HA as usual, without increasing the load on the end user. Even after 18 months since first installing the system, it runs stably and without trouble. It is great that it takes such little effort to operate.”
