We performed a comparison between Dell Vscale Architecture, Oracle Exalogic [EOL], and Vblock [EOL] 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."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."
"Provides high-speed network, strong storage features (ZFS), High Availability out of the box, and is Integrated with a large number of products."
"The automation and provisioning of the environment, as well as the centralized monitoring, have all improved over the years."
"Exalogic offers integration with other engineered systems, which increases the throughput capability and enables processing of bigger and heavier workloads."
"Scalablility: When we need to upgrade from an eighth-rack to a full-rack, the real downtime is less then an hour."
"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 main benefit of using the solution is for the performance it provides."
"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)."
"Systems run solidly."
"The component integration means I don't have to worry about technology mismatches."
"Finding a fully bundled, deployed, and configured solution with a short delivery time and unique support is really attractive."
"The most valuable features are reliability and high availability."
"The high redundancy of components has minimized frequent service degradation/failure."
"Some of the key features are the ease of operation and access, without constraining actions. The tool is available to actually move things around, do things quickly quickly."
"It has improved system performance, batch times for off-hours processing, and reliability with production applications."
"The XtremIO All-Flash array delivers performance, reliability, and deduplication."
"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."
"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."
"Troublesome relationships with VCE at the beginning of our use came undone quickly after we went live."
"RCM upgrades were not scripted, and you needed to roll on your own. We were led to believe this would be otherwise."
"Improve the patching process and timeliness of updates/releases."
"The integration with other vendors' products needs to be looked at. It's not as flexible as we would like it to be."
"It needs more customer/client involvement in back-end management."
"RCM upgrades are painful."
"Tighter alignment could simplify and speed up the configuration and delivery process."
"I would like to see them improve their switching infrastructure and rely on Cisco configurations. They are a bit more complex and technical, but result in a slightly reduced cost in terms of switching on the network side of it."
