Pricing and Cost Advice | |
Information Not Available | It made the provisioning of the virtual machines easier and faster. We can react more quickly to customers' demands. A simplified version for small businesses would be good. We do plan to see ROI with any new implementation of new technologies being implemented within our environment. As far as value is concerned, it has been essential to our environment. We have been able to deploy VMs quickly and the developers have their own sandbox, so they can spin up and destroy VMs at their own will. There is confusion between licensing levels. There are three different licensed versions of vRealize Automation, and there are different things which can happen in each of them. vRealize automation really should be a front door to the whole VMware suite of products. The solution has helped to increase infrastructure, agility, speed, and provisioning in the time to market. We have seen significant ROI. We used to have physical servers, it took 90 days to get a server, order it, buy it, and get it in. We have it down to 10 minutes, building a server with virtualization, and now that's too slow. So, we let the customer do it at their speed. Therefore, it is pretty much up in a couple of minutes and they have a server. |
