We performed a comparison between Oracle Private Cloud Appliance and Oracle SuperCluster based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Converged Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is scalable as the box can be increased by one compute node, if required."
"Supports connection to most of network topology, such as VLAN and network segmentation."
"The most valuable features include distinct storage within the Oracle PCA."
"You will find the high availability and License Team with Oracle very valuable."
"It has helped us to reduce Oracle licensing costs for database and applications."
"A valuable feature is the Exadata Storage appliance, optimized for database queries."
"Because it's classified as an engineered system, it's all integrated, it's all supported by one vendor. We don't have to go to multiple vendors for support, it's all integrated under Oracle."
"The two features that I find to be the most valuable are high availability and high performance."
"Unix is not as easy for the users, it needs more maintenance and costs extra."
"In this setup, the traffic is distributed among the nodes, enhancing the overall performance compared to a scenario where all traffic is directed to a single server."
"Because SuperCluster is a specially engineered system, we have confidence in that all the components are compatible with one another. Everything runs together as a well-coupled group of machines, and the performance is great (especially the memory)."
"Scalability and technical support."
"The performance is significantly improved, and the administration is easy because it is a single platform end-to-end."
"In comparison to competitors like VMware, there's a perceived need for Oracle to enhance OVM, making it more flexible and user-friendly."
"OVM Manager Interface is using HTML5. It should be reconverted to be a Java interface."
"Patching processing takes a long time. Only one compute node is patched at a time."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"If it had capabilities to integrate really well with DB2 or SQL Server or Hitachi SANs, those sort of things, that would be a real benefit. Right now, it's fully supported only under all Oracle infrastructure."
"They may have made some improvements but based on the version that I am using, it is a little complicated because it is based on the Unix Operating system."
"I would like to see control domain and zone management via a management console, similar to that of OVM."
"Not a very user friendly solution."
"Speaking from a business perspective, our main problem is that our particular edition of SuperCluster is now at end-of-life status, making it obsolete and impossible to get support for. This presents a challenge for us, as finding a path to our next solution is not easy."
"If they had an application that centralized the administration, not about the monitoring, but for the configuration, it would be better."
"It's not working as we expected. We thought it would be fast and reliable but we are not getting the reliability. It's not stable."
"We have faced network connectivity issues."
