I like this type of CPU. It has helped to improve the performance of targeted workloads by 70%.""We use remote access a lot.

Cons
"Capacity and performance could always be improved.""It could be an option to remove discs and just have a virtual option. If you remove the room you need for discs, you could make it smaller. It would take up less room that way.""It would be nice if the rack servers had an HCI solution as an option.""The time it takes the machine to boot up, when I turn it off and on, could be quicker.""We are leaning away from this particular product because Dell's VxRail solution makes us buy four nodes at a time which is not scalable. Other solutions such as Cisco offer more innovation on this front.""It would be nice if they could make the solution cheaper and faster.""The product must improve its integration with VMware.""We have storage and would like to manage more backups without adding extra storage devices. Maybe it's already there. I need to look at it more."
