Supporting Quotes

"In the past, we had limited ability to add storage or scale to meet our growing needs. Today with VMware Virtual SAN, I can add more disk on the fly without even thinking about it, and memory upgrades have become a breeze. I'm looking forward to the new Quality of Service capabilities of Virtual SAN 6.2 to allow us to manage performance SLAs for our core business applications including our automation systems, ERP system and databases." - Caleb Holmstrom, Network Administrator, Agropur Ingredients

"Using VMware, we reduced 21 physical servers down to a three-node cluster with local storage based on Virtual SAN. It exponentially increased performance. What used to take our users 30 to 45 minutes to accomplish -- entering grades or scheduling, for instance -- in the old environment, now takes less than five minutes. I'm looking forward to testing the new data efficiency capabilities of VMware Virtual SAN 6.2 on our all-flash storage system." - Kenny Wilder, Director of Network Infrastructure, Fulton County Schools

"As a leading travel website, we support up to 25 million monthly visitors searching through our database of 634,000 hotels. Through VMware partner PlusServer, we use VMware Virtual SAN for a high performance, resilient and scalable shared storage solution. It ensures our business-critical applications are up-and-running even during the busy summer and winter seasons when we experience a surge of traffic. Working alongside PlusServer, we are keen to explore the new capabilities in order to achieve even more value from VMware's hypervisor-converged storage for VMs." - Frank Rössler, Head of IT Operations, HolidayCheck
