We performed a comparison between Dell Vscale Architecture and Oracle SuperCluster 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."
"SuperCluster is basically a combination of Oracle, with Exadata and Compute node features, so it is a computing cluster that is integrated in a single infrastructure such that we don't need a separate solution for the application database, the data storage database, and everything else the application needs."
"Unix is not as easy for the users, it needs more maintenance and costs extra."
"Because it's classified as an engineered system, it's all integrated, it's all supported by one vendor. We don't have to go to multiple vendors for support, it's all integrated under Oracle."
"A valuable feature is the Exadata Storage appliance, optimized for database queries."
"Because SuperCluster is a specially engineered system, we have confidence in that all the components are compatible with one another. Everything runs together as a well-coupled group of machines, and the performance is great (especially the memory)."
"Our primary use case is for E-Business Suite applications the applications for the government, and most of the applications that use an HCM."
"Scalability and technical support."
"The two features that I find to be the most valuable are high availability and high performance."
"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."
"If it had capabilities to integrate really well with DB2 or SQL Server or Hitachi SANs, those sort of things, that would be a real benefit. Right now, it's fully supported only under all Oracle infrastructure."
"A major issue for us is that after the most recent update of SuperCluster, they have now stopped all future production of new versions. That is to say, after M7 there was M8, and now there are no future versions planned (e.g. M9) in the market."
"It's not working as we expected. We thought it would be fast and reliable but we are not getting the reliability. It's not stable."
"If they had an application that centralized the administration, not about the monitoring, but for the configuration, it would be better."
"There are many areas for improvement. For example, better guidance in terms of troubleshooting issues relating to ZFS, as well as better tools/diagnostics for monitoring that specific component, to better identify potential issues. Hardware monitoring via OEM 13.2 is not 100 percent, as Ops Center is still required in some instances."
"I would like to see control domain and zone management via a management console, similar to that of OVM."
"They may have made some improvements but based on the version that I am using, it is a little complicated because it is based on the Unix Operating system."
"We have faced network connectivity issues."
