"Vscale's scalability is super good. Vscale's scalability, manageability, and performance are all three areas that I emphasize when I sell Vscale Architectures to the customer."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the flexibility in configuration and the setup."
"The ability to create vDisks on NFS exports is an added advantage. This is very helpful when we reach RDM limit."
"The initial setup is not complex. It is user-friendly since it is a single solution with all the components delivered in one package."
"This solution has helped to make more things consistent within our organization."
"The solution's granular scalability and broad application support helps us to meet the needs of diverse workloads."
"We like it because everything is 10 Gig all the way through, from the storage to the switches to everything else, which is more than we need, and that's great."
"It simplifies the management of our entire system."
"It is very stable. We have had absolutely zero problems."
"In terms of what could be improved, I particularly think the scope of automation is very much limited. So they should introduce some more STK's and API's for automation first thing."
"There is always room for improvement. I believe we can do hot swaps on the fly. On the release upgrades, if there was a way to do a release on the fly, that would really be cool because it does take some downtime. It takes restarting. It is more of a software thing. Customers hate doing releases."
"There are certain things that are just hard to do on a physical infrastructure, like for instance you need to make petabytes of data available at high speed."
"As the industry as a whole is moving more toward the simplification of IT, that is something where both Cisco and NetApp could look to improve further. Just simplifying the day to day management, the day to day issues that arise, and building more intuitiveness into the interfaces would help."
"The initial learning curve is pretty steep."
"I would like more orchestration and networking in-between the VMs, the virtualization layer for networking. I would like to see better tools for this."
"We want always more speed, capacity, fluidity, and growth that we can easily integrate."
"Maybe in the future, they could include the HCI solution into the mix."
"I had one problem at the site where I had an aggregate that would not shrink after I had deleted some stuff. It took a few tries to get the right guy on the call. We do have a NetApp SAM with our company, and it really took getting to him to get the solution fixed."
