"Compared to the previous setup, customers now experience significantly fewer interruptions, a much faster response time in our IT delivery and a more powerful and stable system with better visibility."
"Virtualization has helped CIE meet skyrocketing demand for services. They can do more, faster, with a smaller footprint with the benefit from highly available datacenter resources and simpler project management options. This can enable the Air Force to deliver better service at lower cost to the developers who create essential combat-support applications."
"Our primary datacenter is now 100 percent virtualized on vSphere 4. The upgrade went very smoothly and we are already beginning to take advantage of some of the exciting new features such as Fault Tolerance, vShield Zones, vStorage Thin Provisioning and Host Profiles. We are especially excited about Fault Tolerance because it will ensure zero downtime and zero data loss for applications most critical to the business."
"When we met Softchoice, we started discussing what possible options we had to improve our IT infrastructure. Right from the start, I felt really comfortable with VMware and Softchoice."
"VMware vSphere Essentials will change the way you think about servers, infrastructure and what you can do with information technology. It allows you to save on hardware costs and server- deployment time, and lets you set up test environments on the fly. Because it makes everything easier and cheaper, vSphere will definitely change your world."
"We started by virtualizing our enterprise applications, and now are implementing VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager as our disaster recovery solution. VMware gives us a rock-solid IT infrastructure without the crippling costs of a traditional DR architecture."
“The citizens of Pitt Meadows can sleep easy knowing that the City’s data holdings are robust and recoverable. It’s rewarding to show real, tangible value from our investment in VMware and NetApp technologies.”
“Our extensive experience with VMware software, and our structured approach to technology implementations, made them feel confident that they were getting an expert opinion.”
“We’re a pretty small shop, so without having that virtual infrastructure in place, it would be pretty hard for us to focus on these higher-value activities, which—moving forward—we hope to do more of.”
"The initial driver for virtualization was cost avoidance: We were able to do the work of 25 servers with just 12. Besides maximized hardware utilization, minimized disruptions, and the ability to consolidate and share resources, probably the biggest benefit I see from virtualization is saving a considerable amount of time, thanks to simplified management."
"With BlueLock, we went from zero to live in four months."
"Using VMware Infrastructure 3 to create a nearly 100 percent virtual environment, lets us scale to meet our customers’ needs while providing them solid performance and availability."
"We required a data centre that was scalable, could give performance and energy efficiency that was in line with the Earth Rangers’ goal to become completely energy neutral, and would support our interactive, global scale business model that is data- and graphics-intensive. Meeting all these goals, plus a 90% reduction in power and cooling demands, is a huge success."
"VMware Site Recovery Manager has turned disaster recovery from a manual process into a push-button operation. It’s hard to put a price tag on that kind of simplification."
"VMware View enables us to be quick to respond, quick to resolve, and quick to provision desktops to meet our clients’ urgent business needs."
