Our primary use case is we deploy on a traditional physical server. We completely move our workload to the virtual machine and then we have physical servers. We move some of our physical workloads to virtual machines. And with the help of vSphere and NSX-T, we create VMware Software-Defined Data Centers.

Server virtualization is the primary use case. There were a few reasons we went with VMware virtualization: * There were exponential demands from the business for servers, databases, applications, and quick availability. * Lack of data center facilities. * Time to setup, configure, and install the servers.
My company is an integrator and we provide solutions such as VMware Software Defined Data Center for our customers. Our customers use this solution to implement their own data centers using virtualization. It can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud. They deploy their network virtualization, cloud management, and then the provisioning is done automatically.
We are a system integrator and this is one of the solutions that we provide to our customers. I have experience with using this solution in both cloud-based and on-premises deployments.
We use this solution to host all of the programs that we need. We have about four hundred VMs that we use for our applications. We have an on-premises deployment.
We started the project using this solution about three years ago, and we are now in production. We primarily use this solution for automation. We have an on-premises deployment.

We are using all of the virtualization technology. Our primary use case is infrastructure as a service (IaaS). For some clients, we provide backup as a service. In this case, we back up their on-premises data to the cloud. We are using the cloud deployment model.
We primarily used the solution at first for business applications, then it as the port operator. We use it for the management of shipping containers, so we have a primary data center and secondary data center.
We use this solution to help centralize our office. We have two Data Centers. One of them is for our DR and the other is for production. This is an on-premises deployment.

We are a system integration company and this is one of the solutions that we provide to our clients. One of our clients in the Health Care field is in the process of modernizing their data center using this solution. It will be replacing a lot of different products from different vendors that all have different levels of support. Currently, a large team is required to maintain the data center because it contains legacy technology, and the management of everything is very tough. This solution helps customers to utilize existing hardware and perform this type of migration in steps, replacing hardware devices one by one. It helps us to scale up and scale-out. We can decommission an old server and add a new one, but we don't have to decommission everything all at once. With some customization, we can utilize the existing resources. There are different deployment models, including both public cloud and private cloud.
We use this solution for public-private partnership healthcare projects (hospitals). Our environment includes Dell PowerEdge Servers, Arista Networks Data Center Ethernet Switches, Coraid SRX Block Storage SAN, GeNUA Security Appliances, Xirrus Wi-Fi Arrays, Mushroom Networks BBNA SD-WAN, and MobileNets.
The VMware approach to the SDDC delivers a unified platform that supports any application and provides flexible control. The VMware architecture for the SDDC empowers companies to run hybrid clouds and to leverage unique capabilities to deliver key outcomes that enable efficiency, agility, and security. Enterprises using VMware technology have three ways to establish an SDDC and transition at their own pace: build their own using reference architectures; use a converged infrastructure; or use...
We connect the solution to Windows Server or a Linux server for backup.
We rely on VMware's Software Defined Data Center as the core of our regional server setup, managing computing, storage, and networking centrally.
We use VMware Software Defined Data Center to compute virtual private cloud storage environments.
We are using it to install several versions of virtual machines so that we can fit the needs of any user internally.
