We performed a comparison between HPE ConvergedSystem 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.
"The most valuable features of HPE ConvergedSystem are scalability and resilience."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the flexibility and the availability of the machines."
"This solution is very simple to use."
"Consolidation and duplications features."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to restore lost machines. Essentially its high availability capabilities are extremely valuable to us."
"This is a scalable solution. Our customers begin with an initial configuration and later add more servers, memory and other options to meet the demands of increased processing."
"The user interface, reporting, and management are good, and we are quite happy with the performance."
"The tool's most valuable features are stability and scalability."
"SuperCluster is basically a combination of Oracle, with Exadata and Compute node features, so it is a computing cluster that is integrated in a single infrastructure such that we don't need a separate solution for the application database, the data storage database, and everything else the application needs."
"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."
"Unix is not as easy for the users, it needs more maintenance and costs extra."
"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)."
"The two features that I find to be the most valuable are high availability and high performance."
"Scalability and technical support."
"A valuable feature is the Exadata Storage appliance, optimized for database queries."
"The performance is significantly improved, and the administration is easy because it is a single platform end-to-end."
"HPE ConvergedSystem needs to improve its price."
"There is some scope for improvement in support. The response time could be better."
"The tool has shortcomings in its performance monitoring part."
"I would like to see better manageability and integration with third-party tools."
"Perhaps they can work on providing faster allocation of memory or storage."
"I would like to see monitoring solutions included, as well as brand support."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The interface is not fully integrated with the ESXi, which is something that could be improved."
"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."
"There are many areas for improvement. For example, better guidance in terms of troubleshooting issues relating to ZFS, as well as better tools/diagnostics for monitoring that specific component, to better identify potential issues. Hardware monitoring via OEM 13.2 is not 100 percent, as Ops Center is still required in some instances."
"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."
"Not a very user friendly solution."
"We have faced network connectivity issues."
"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."
"If they had an application that centralized the administration, not about the monitoring, but for the configuration, it would be better."
