We performed a comparison between Oracle Exalogic [EOL] 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 main benefit of using the solution is for the performance it provides."
"Scalablility: When we need to upgrade from an eighth-rack to a full-rack, the real downtime is less then an hour."
"Exalogic offers integration with other engineered systems, which increases the throughput capability and enables processing of bigger and heavier workloads."
"Server consolidation. In a cloud architecture, moving the HA VM from one to other is faster. This is because of the InfiniBand network fabric between the compute nodes and storage nodes (ZFS Storage)."
"Provides high-speed network, strong storage features (ZFS), High Availability out of the box, and is Integrated with a large number of products."
"The automation and provisioning of the environment, as well as the centralized monitoring, have all improved over the years."
"Enterprise high-speed interoperability: With IPoIB we can deliver to other environments, either IP-Ethernet-based or IP-InfiniBand-based protocol, both with minimum bandwidth capacity of 10Gbps, 20Gbps, or 40Gbps, redundantly."
"The XtremIO All-Flash array delivers performance, reliability, and deduplication."
"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."
"Finding a fully bundled, deployed, and configured solution with a short delivery time and unique support is really attractive."
"The most valuable feature is that it is centrally managed, as it is quite easy for our customers to manage everything, end-to-end."
"The component integration means I don't have to worry about technology mismatches."
"It has improved system performance, batch times for off-hours processing, and reliability with production applications."
"Capability for scale and growth within a single rack brings strong possibilities for capacity planning."
"The most valuable features are reliability and high availability."
"The solution needs to add a network virtualization feature similar to that of VxRail. If they could implement that, it would be great for the product."
"Middleware application services, such as statistics, data mining, could be better."
"The solution is prone to disk failures. This needs to improve. Over the past four years we've had to replace about six of them. They've failed almost every three to six months."
"While most public clouds are deployed on Linux, there is current no certified Vblock working on KVM hypervisors."
"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."
"OEM services requires too much planning and low availability of certified engineers."
"The implementation and support could be better."
"The user control could be more advanced. They should work to improve this in future releases."
"Tighter alignment could simplify and speed up the configuration and delivery process."
"RCM upgrades are painful."
"It needs more customer/client involvement in back-end management."
