"The ability for us to manage all of our nodes from the same console makes systems administration very easy."
"The best feature is its ease of installation and integration within a current infrastructure."
"This product now allows us to migrate virtual machines between nodes as if we had a dedicated $100,000 SAN in the mix without the additional cost and management of the SAN."
"Integration with Microsoft clustering has been perfect, allowing us to leverage our investment in MS server licensing to the fullest."
"The ability to run the software virtually on every virtualization platform and the ability to eliminate all storage vendor locking are the most valuable features."
"Given the high availability of the server cluster, we were able to reduce separate physical servers onto one hyper-converged cluster - this saved in OPEX and CAPEX costs immediately, along with licensing costs of the Windows Server licenses."
"We can lose a site or even two of our three, and we would lose no data and have no outage."
"I find all the features of this solution excellent. The ability to move data to the public cloud is valuable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the product's deployment phase is pretty easy."
"The most valuable features of the Lenovo ThinkAgile HX Series are the ease of use and simple configuration."
"The initial setup is simple. We were able to deliver the hyper-convergence solution in a very good time."
"The product can include a more simple way of synchronization after a forced shutdown as the current process has a few more steps to check that hosts have synchronized and this can be automated."
"I would love to see more vendor selection to be available for the HCA/vSAN appliances."
"Server-side snapshots are one thing the Linux appliance can't do yet."
"The cluster configuration is time-consuming and tedious."
"Security on the ISCSI protocol could be improved by adding features like OS-type control access, especially for the data center environment."
"The logs can also become very noisy when there is an issue, which is very infrequent."
"A central management console may be nice to see all nodes."
"They need to invest more in the support documents for real issues happening when integrating the solution with the hypervisor."
"The pricing and the partnerships with AWS and Azure can be improved."
"There is a delay in the availability of similar versions of firmware from both the products, which are VMware and Nutanix for Lenovo ThinkAgile HX Series, due to the delayed releases from both products, maybe by a quarter or so."
"Here in Nigeria, the only challenge that we have, which I think is also experienced globally is the delay in bringing in the spare parts. This is a challenge facing our country, such as the Forex market. However, this is beyond the control of Lenovo themselves."
"Lenovo ThinkAgile HX Series could improve by having better integration with the solutions from VMware and vCenter"
