Rating & Recommendations:

Gartner Final Report: Zero-Based Budget Review - ID G00333051

Magic Quadrant for Hyperconverged Infrastructure

Gartner Report Published 6 February 2018 - ID G00333051

VMware offers the broadest set of hyperconverged

solutions — either as a turnkey software appliance,

as a rack-scale software-defined data center solution

(VMware Cloud Foundation) or as HCIaaS — to meet

the diverse performance, scalability, security and

total cost of ownership (TCO) needs of

organizations.

VMware offers a set of well-integrated software

products in vSphere, vSAN and vCenter, which makes

management and support simple for virtualization

administrators, obviating the need to learn new GUIs

or complex storage abstracts.

VMware has kept the product competitive through

an aggressive software release cycle to provide

advanced data services and enhancements, such as

software encryption that eliminates the need for

expensive, self-encrypting drives, and stretched

clusters that can tolerate site failures.

Cloud Pricing ModelThe below prices are the maximum you will be charged per month. If the

server is shut down during the billing period you will see a reduced price

on vCPU and Memory.

General Cloud Cluster

vCPU (Core) $43.00

Memory (GB) $9.00

Storage (GB) $0.10

SQL Cloud Cluster

vCPU (Core) $43.00

Memory (GB) $11.00

Storage (GB) $0.14

Storage – All Flash High Speed Storage

• The Washington State Cloud environment includes a State

of the Art storage technology called vSAN.

• vSAN eliminates the need for expensive dedicated SAN

equipment.

• Does not require a dedicated Storage Administrator

• Reduces network service dependencies

• All storage is located in the host hardware allowing for

faster response times

• Less billing complexity - One price tier for storage

ROADMAP

Roadmap

WS Cloud Roadmap

VMware NSX Network Virtualization and Security Platform

NSX enables the creation of entire networks in software and embeds them in the hypervisor layer, abstracted from the underlying physical hardware. All network components can be provisioned in minutes, without the need to modify the application.

NSX embeds security functions right into the hypervisor. It delivers micro-segmentation and granular security to the individual workload, enabling a fundamentally more secure data center. Security policies travel with the workloads, independent of where workloads are in the network topology.

Use of NSX would greatly reduce the Networking and Firewall group dependencies which in turn would speed up new customer onboarding by several weeks.

WS Cloud Roadmap• Encryption-at-Rest

Current versions of vSAN Storage software supports Encryption-at-Rest. Over the next few months we will be testing the product. We hope to be able to offer this in the Spring of 2019.

• OPX Storage SolutionWaTech is currently in the release phase of an RFP for a OPX Storage Solution which will offer tiered storage for all Agencies needs. This solution will allow us to expand and decrease storage needs without capital expense.

• Backup Solution New customer use of the current WaTech Avamar Backup service is diminishing. Most customers state that the cost is too high. The current solution will be replaced with a solution which is hardware agonistic. This will allow us to utilize low cost storage, which in turn lowers backup costs for customers. Expected replacement would be before June 30, 2019.

• Compliance CertificationsOver the next year we will be working with VMWare and internal WaTech security groups to evaluate the security of the WS Cloud and how it aligns with industry standard compliance rules.
