"My vision for mobility is, I don’t want users to have to depend on a laptop. I want to give users who are carrying a brick and mortar laptop device today, an iPad, or a Droid or some sort of tablet to take out of the building with them."
“We continuously strive to find better ways of improving our build and release operations. By partnering with VMware, we were able to roll-out a virtual desktop environment across the globe, consolidating data centers in one location. This resulted in improved product development, reduced time to market, faster and more accurate releases, improved compute, and cost savings. Through virtualization, we were able to consolidate from 10,000 sq ft. of space across 6 centers to 600 sq ft. across 1 datacenter. Finally, VMware’s need-based subscription model helps us to better utilize IT resources when we need it, where we need it.”
"vSphere 4 was the kick we needed to adopt a ‘virtualization-first’ policy. Our virtual infrastructure is now growing faster than ever before."
"Colleges must be ready with the capacity and processing power to accommodate the IT needs of their faculty, students and administrators. Vblock is therefore a great architecture for institutions of all sizes: it is cost-efficient, fast to deploy and meets the most demanding performance and storage needs."
"We knew that we could go to VMware and get the cloud solution, as well as the virtualization solution, because virtualization was just the first step to us to become fully virtualized in a private cloud environment, with software, security like vShield and vCenter Operations Manager."
"Purchasing the Intel Modular Server to use with VMware Infrastructure 3 meant easier management, fewer pieces of hardware to worry about, and less money to spend. It was a pretty easy case to make."
"If some new project comes in—say a newly elected official wants different software or the state mandates a change—virtualization lets us implement quickly, in a stable, resilient environment."
"Our response time has been reduced to minutes with Hyperic, instead of hours or days. Now I know about issues the minute they happen. It is nice to be in front of a problem, to know about it before anyone else does."
"Desktop virtualization and single sign-on eliminate barriers to clinicians’ adoption of CPOE. One physician told me, Finally you’re doing something for us instead of to us."
"The success of desktop virtualization is clear in that teachers and students are using their computers now, whereas in the past, they weren’t because the computers were slow due to age and system restrictions."
"From the C-level, executive view, it’s about dollars and cents and being able to provide service to our end-users as quickly as we can; and VMware is going to get us there."
"Before, it sometimes took weeks for us to respond to desktop support calls. Today, because we’ve implemented a VMware View virtual environment, we can resolve issues remotely. Users are back up and running within minutes."
"I am always amazed when I hear somebody say their company is not virtual because it cannot afford it. I ask how can it not -- we are saving costs on just power and cooling every day. VMware has made it much easier for us to be successful at our mission. I can’t imagine going back to the old system."
"Taking advantage of VMware and Intel’s virtualization technologies allows us to reduce the IT cost of ownership for our customers, while increasing stability, security, and scalability."
"Time to resolve issues is significantly faster with Hyperic – at least twice as fast."
