Overall Satisfaction with VMware ESXi

It's been used in our organization and also we recommend it for other companies as it helps to reduce the number of servers and the power consumption too.

It helps to get 6 to 7 applications on a single server reducing a huge data center space.

Pros

  • Within PBX the number of servers has reduced drastically by having all applications in one.
  • Redundancy within VMware has helped a lot to have a reliable system in place.
  • The IP address/Network port requirements are reduced drastically when VMware is used.

Cons

  • License cost shd be reduced since yearly renewal cost adds up which is avoided by many organizations.
  • The VMware license selection needs to be made simpler.
  • The number of servers, power consumption, and IP address utilization has been reduced.
  • Yearly services cost adds a bit to the overall AMC cost.
  • VMware Expert is required to be available for supporting the VMware OS.
  • Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V)
Universally accepted by all the OEM's like Avaya Cisco and many others, and is available from servers like OEM Dell and HP along with their server if required.
They have a good Support team and technical info is easily available on the net.

Would you buy VMware ESXi again?

Yes

Avaya Aura Platform, Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Call Manager), Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)

VMware is perfect for Data Center and all Telephony servers where a large number of applications can be installed on a single server reducing the Power consumption, N/w port, IP address per server and even the Ethernet cable used within the data center.

If only a single application to be used then no use of going for VMware as it's license and yearly support renewal adds cost to the server piece.
