We decided to move to a different version of VM to create different solutions.
View full review »We can create one server for one application and then hardware on the system. By moving to virtualization with the help of a virtual machine, we can run the virtual server in just a couple of minutes with the help of templates. And we can move the virtual machines from one server to another server. We can do vMotion, fault tolerance, and high availability. All these features are available in VMware Software-Defined Data Center, including the NSX feature for network security.

Things that used to take a real long time to do with compute are much faster with virtualization. Now it's the same thing with storage and network because you don't have to worry about any physical hardware. You need additional load balancing or firewall or even a VLAN stretch somewhere, it's now all done with just a keyboard.

There have been many improvements in our virtualization strategy and roadmap. We started small and were able to satisfy our developers with quick infrastructure provisioning. It has allowed us to maintain uptime and availability.
Motioning is also very easy. We used vROps to create alerts that notify us whenever there are virtual machines powered on or off.

We have a lot of VMware hosts and this solution is needed for them. If you have more than two VMware hosts then you definitely need this solution to connect and manage them.

This solution has improved our organization in several ways, including:
- Convergence and Consolidation of Server Hardware
- Data Center Ethernet Switching
- Bare Metal Ethernet SAN "dramatically improved" performance, stability, and reliability of the VMware Healthcare Solution Architecture.
We can scale to the needs of the customer and find them solutions that ten years ago would cost them double the price.
View full review »It allows us to deploy faster, more scalable. We get far more use out of the hardware we buy in our datacenters, reducing electrical costs. We own our own datacenters, so electric cost is a big priority, as is space. The more space we can rent out to customers, the more profitable. VMware allows us to virtualize very well. It also allows us to orchestrate and automate, which reduces operating expenses.
It improves this whole process because you are no longer locked into solutions that the hardware provides. In other words, you're able to scale things a lot more easily and are able to define things a little more from a fluid type of perspective, so that they can change a lot more quickly.
View full review »It's battle tested, it's cool. I would say in a lot of cases, bulletproof. It's very simple to use, it's very easy to understand, it's easy to set up and initialize and get going, and it actually provides the enterprise class performance people want.
View full review »We were able to scale down in the data center, we were able to scale down with the physical boxes to VMs. It also released space because we actually have the data center offsite that we spend money on such as power, etc. We were scaling down on the hardware, so using VMware has really improved in cutting back/ decreasing the cost of hardware.
View full review »I think it's less user intensive to set up new bits of the network now that we are using SDDC net features.
View full review »Reduced cost of manpower for running cabling, ability to put a lot more extra infrastructure and smaller form factors and less power.
