Overall Satisfaction with VMware ESXi
VMware ESXi is the virtualization platform we use for all of our virtual machines on site. It allows us to have two data centers, separated by microwave backhaul, that share systems between themselves.
- Quick rollout of new VMs through templates
- Advanced networking capabilities
- Easy migration of virtual machines to new compute and storage
- Easier upgrade process
- Less expensive options for mid-tier organizations (Essentials is too small)
- We were able to consolidate two data centers to one without losing service
- Zero impactful downtime while still being able to update the hypervisors
- Easy to complete backups while systems are online
