HelioVolt Corporation

"VMware is the clear and obvious leader in virtualization products. We tried both the Microsoft and Oracle virtualization products and found them lacking in features and performance compared to the VMware product."

—David Greer, Director of Information Services, HelioVolt Corporation

Boise Inc.

"We use VMware software all over our company, and it has saved each individual area time, money and resources. It has helped us consolidate our Windows Servers and strengthen our disaster-avoidance and disaster-recovery plans. We run our production system and key Microsoft applications like Exchange and SQL on virtual machines. They run smoothly while using less CPU, less disk space, and a lot less memory than when they’re run on physical machines. Having seen other virtualization technologies, we know that no competitive product comes even close to the value that VMware delivers to our organization every day."

—Bill Frost, Senior IS Engineer, Boise Inc.

ViaHealth / Rochester General Hospital

"I wouldn’t put my mission-critical systems on a virtualization solution like Microsoft Hyper-V, which is dependent on an operating system. We all know the track record of operating systems with patches and vulnerabilities. And other virtualization products lack the complete toolset that you get from VMware, including capabilities like live migration. The tools that VMware offers allow us to be more productive, as well as offer higher SLAs to our application owners. We couldn’t do without it."

—Tom Gibaud, Manager of Information Technology, ViaHealth / Rochester General Hospital

University of Plymouth

"The university has virtualized 50,000 Exchange 2007 mailboxes on VMware Infrastructure. We not only have a more manageable and flexible Exchange environment, but we have replaced Microsoft clustering with VMware’s built-in high availability solutions such as HA and VMotion. We couldn’t be happier with the uptime and performance of our Exchange implementation on VMware. VMware technology works for small companies all the way up to massive financial institutions. And clearly, it has worked for us."

—Adrian Jane, Infrastructure and Operations Manager, University of Plymouth
