Overall Satisfaction with VMware ESXi

We have deployed VMWare Vsphere for the production environment of SAP HANA. For SAP HANA, VMWare is the only certified virtualized platform. It addressed our SAP HANA production with HA.
  • Merge multiple LUNs in the Data Store. The Scalability feature is great for storage.
  • Conversion from Other Hyper-Visor.
  • Ease in solution cost.
  • Implementing SAP HANA with an inline memory DB is great and has improved performance.
  • User satisfaction is higher.
1. Storage scalability without moving the VM workload. One single storage pool even multiple SAN behind.
2. The only virtualized platform certified for HANA. This is the only option for On-Premise virtualized HANA deployment.
3. Built-in DR- Ready features, which are not available in other Hyper-Visors.
4. Different node configuration within one-cluster - different RAM and processors in a cluster that is mandatory in Hyper-V.
Sometimes support is not available as per our local time. A prompt response should be available.

Do you think VMware ESXi delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with VMware ESXi's feature set?

Yes

Did VMware ESXi live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of VMware ESXi go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy VMware ESXi again?

Yes

It is well suited for an enterprise that needs to deploy a virtualized platform for more than 100 virtual machines. However, it needs an organization budget wherever a small business may not invest on IT Infrastructure that much.
