I do not get the detail of the money saved, but I am not a system engineer, so I do not know how much we saved. From one to 10, I would give it eight in terms of expense. It is deployed on-premises. In general, I rate my overall experience with Microsoft Virtual Server as an eight out of ten.
Speaking about AI integrations, I have not been involved yet but might conduct a POC in the future. Overall, I would rate my experience with Microsoft Virtual Server as an eight or 8.5 out of ten.
The product is used for testing and development. The effectiveness of the product in the area of testing and development is something that depends on the problem faced by our company's client. Nowadays, our company prefers to do everything on Microsoft Fabric because it also includes Synapse Data Warehouse, which is Azure SQL Data Warehouse's alternative. The most beneficial area of the product for virtualization needs stems from the fact that one of our company's customers could deploy it on an on-premises system. The tool had always caused issues in areas like security and maintenance, but the product's virtualization has helped as it offers a layer of protection on top of the virtual machines, making it easy to maintain, and in the future if a user wants to move away to a different offering, it is easier to do that on Microsoft Virtual Server. When it comes to the integration capabilities, similar to the data warehousing capabilities offered by any other solution, the tool offers connection strings, and you have the ability to connect and pull the data, which is usually something that depends on the ETL tool, but Microsoft Virtual Server is quite compatible with the ETL tools, like ADF. One person can maintain the entire solution. If people plan to use Microsoft Virtual Server or any other services by Azure, they need to look into Microsoft Fabric since it is a tool with some nice offerings. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

Speaking about how Microsoft Virtual Server has streamlined the consolidation efforts for our company's clients, I would say that my company deals in a few projects involving Microsoft Virtual Server and Hyper-V. My company works with projects involving products like VMware or Nutanix. The product has helped my company's customers improve the testing workflow. The most beneficial part of the product to deal with the virtualization part stems from the ability it provides to deal with the application virtualization part and in the consolidation of applications on Microsoft Virtual Server while providing a single dashboard that gives a view of the complete workload. My company has experienced some scalability issues with Microsoft Virtual Server as our company's clients' operations grew, especially in the area of licensing, which doesn't come as a built-in component in the virtualization card. I rate the overall product a seven out of ten.
I recommend the solution to those who plan to use it. Initially, one should only follow the basic steps provided by the solution. I rate the overall product an eight to nine out of ten.
We want to move our ERP server to the cloud. We need to prepare our users and the ERP system itself, as well as develop a digital plan. We have two partners that we need to collaborate with, and we need to discuss the move with them. We believe that we can complete the migration within this year, and we plan to be fully operational in the cloud by January 2024. Around four technical staff is enough for maintenance. If a client is having a problem, they need to be able to contact the vendor (the end user) in order to provide support. Microsoft should have a portal or make it easy for customers to contact them if they are having any technical issues or addressing problems. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We're resellers. I'm not sure which version of the solution I'm using at this time. It's likely one of the latest versions. In general, I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten. Largely, it's a pretty good solution, however, technical support is really lacking right now.
My advice for anybody who is implementing this solution is to hire external, trained professionals with the correct skills for these specific products. In summary, this is a good product and although it has issues, they are minimal. From my perspective, I think that everything is going well. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
