“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 …

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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 …

“The configuration of the Virtual SAN has enabled us to start from basic storage availability that we have set up to be scalable, in a way that it is compatible with the availability of the computing and memory resources required to host other systems for other customers.”

“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.”

“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 …

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
