We performed a comparison between Oracle Exalogic [EOL] and Rackspace OpenStack based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Converged Infrastructure."Exalogic offers integration with other engineered systems, which increases the throughput capability and enables processing of bigger and heavier workloads."
"Provides high-speed network, strong storage features (ZFS), High Availability out of the box, and is Integrated with a large number of products."
"Enterprise high-speed interoperability: With IPoIB we can deliver to other environments, either IP-Ethernet-based or IP-InfiniBand-based protocol, both with minimum bandwidth capacity of 10Gbps, 20Gbps, or 40Gbps, redundantly."
"The automation and provisioning of the environment, as well as the centralized monitoring, have all improved over the years."
"The main benefit of using the solution is for the performance it provides."
"Scalablility: When we need to upgrade from an eighth-rack to a full-rack, the real downtime is less then an hour."
"Server consolidation. In a cloud architecture, moving the HA VM from one to other is faster. This is because of the InfiniBand network fabric between the compute nodes and storage nodes (ZFS Storage)."
"There are many services that can be directly used which are not available in VMware."
"The most valuable feature is the customization. With the customization you can really give the customers what they want."
"I like its integration with GitLab and its simplicity. OpenStack has a lot of third-party libraries that it uses."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"Apart from the main features, I really appreciate OpenStack's microservices architecture and its flexibility for deployment with different tools."
"It created a reusable library with OpenStack features."
"The documentation was plentiful and very helpful."
"The solution is stable."
"Middleware application services, such as statistics, data mining, could be better."
"The solution needs to add a network virtualization feature similar to that of VxRail. If they could implement that, it would be great for the product."
"The solution is prone to disk failures. This needs to improve. Over the past four years we've had to replace about six of them. They've failed almost every three to six months."
"OpenStack is difficult for the novice in terms of beginning to use cloud tools."
"The seamless integration between MySQL services and the rabbitMQ database can be revised during the debugging phase."
"So for the main stability, there have been a couple of issues that I've experienced."
"It could use more examples in different languages (API use cases)."
"The line migration is a problem."
"VMware has a side-to-side replication feature, which is still more mature than Rackspace OpenStack's which can't be used in a production environment."
"OpenStack's UI, while user-friendly, could be improved to offer a more intuitive experience."
