We performed a comparison between IBM VersaStack 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."The solution has high IOPS and the I/O is important because it gives us more transactions per second."
"The combination of Cisco's architecture and IBM's flash technology. Cisco provides FI technology which provides one simple architecture. IBM's flash technology is fast."
"Replication and DR implementation became faster."
"Capability for scale and growth within a single rack brings strong possibilities for capacity planning."
"UCS Manager worked well for net/blade management and has allowed fairly easy use of dedicated bare-metal blades."
"VMware NSX: Provides the ability for our organisation to deliver true DR."
"The XtremIO All-Flash array delivers performance, reliability, and deduplication."
"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."
"The component integration means I don't have to worry about technology mismatches."
"The high redundancy of components has minimized frequent service degradation/failure."
"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."
"The solution should improve deduplication to get a lot of savings."
"Raw data mapping for storage should be a given option."
"With respect to the technical support, there is room for improvement."
"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."
"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."
"OEM services requires too much planning and low availability of certified engineers."
"RCM upgrades were not scripted, and you needed to roll on your own. We were led to believe this would be otherwise."
"While most public clouds are deployed on Linux, there is current no certified Vblock working on KVM hypervisors."
"The user control could be more advanced. They should work to improve this in future releases."
