"Sync to Central and edge protection mitigate my risk in our branch offices. All services that need to be local to the user exist on local servers. Users run applications and access data locally while the data is constantly being synced to Central, and protected. If an edge device fails, we can recover quickly."

Cons
"In comparison to competitors like VMware, there's a perceived need for Oracle to enhance OVM, making it more flexible and user-friendly.""Patching processing takes a long time. Only one compute node is patched at a time.""OVM Manager Interface is using HTML5. It should be reconverted to be a Java interface.""The initial setup was very complex."

"Setting up disks for use is a multi-step process that could use some refinement. Setting up a core-to-core replication or DR strategy is also cumbersome."

  • "No licenses for the shipped software or firmware."
  • "It is more expensive than the normal solution or the hyper-converged system."
  • "It is relatively cost-effective."

  • "Price is an issue – this is expensive stuff. My advice is to beat up Riverbed as much as possible on price. These things are expensive and there is room for negotiation."
