We performed a comparison between IBM PurePower System, SteelFusion, 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."We never have any issues or glitches."
"Sync to Central and edge protection mitigate my risk in our branch offices. All services that need to be local to the user exist on local servers. Users run applications and access data locally while the data is constantly being synced to Central, and protected. If an edge device fails, we can recover quickly."
"The most valuable features are reliability and high availability."
"Finding a fully bundled, deployed, and configured solution with a short delivery time and unique support is really attractive."
"VMware NSX: Provides the ability for our organisation to deliver true DR."
"The most valuable feature is that it is centrally managed, as it is quite easy for our customers to manage everything, end-to-end."
"We have seen measurable increases in our system performance. Those increases have been directly measurable in application performance and the delivery of critical business information to our users."
"The component integration means I don't have to worry about technology mismatches."
"It's an integrated box Mac solution, so it's a plug and play. The deployment and build is pre-made and ready to deploy. It makes it easy to apply."
"Access to VMs is now faster due to the centralized management console."
"The management is really difficult when it comes to systems with traditional services."
"Setting up disks for use is a multi-step process that could use some refinement. Setting up a core-to-core replication or DR strategy is also cumbersome."
"It needs more customer/client involvement in back-end management."
"The user control could be more advanced. They should work to improve this in future releases."
"While most public clouds are deployed on Linux, there is current no certified Vblock working on KVM hypervisors."
"Troublesome relationships with VCE at the beginning of our use came undone quickly after we went live."
"Tighter alignment could simplify and speed up the configuration and delivery process."
"Improve the patching process and timeliness of updates/releases."
"VCE tools, like Vision or AMP were not stand alone, and depended too much on other management consoles."
"With respect to the technical support, there is room for improvement."
