Dell XC Appliance [EOL] Valuable Features

The most valuable features are the low management overhead, and the lower skill set required to manage it.

All of the additional management tools plug into vCenter, which is our standard virtualization interface for VMware. It has the vRealize Operations Manager, which is the management and the monitoring suite that's available from VMware. This is all incorporated into the product. It's a turnkey solution.

The vSAN is quite good because if one of the clients goes down then you have a high availability replacement.

The appliance is easy to configure and the deployment is quite easy, as well.

The feature I think is most valuable are the deduplication and the compression features. Both of these features are very good and very valuable for users.

The most valuable feature is that you can assign a volume to an off-shore workload on the fly.

It is built on top of VMware vSAN and it is kernel-shared with vSphere. If you are familiar with vSphere then it will be very easy to manage.

With Dell, the most valuable features are the SSH VPN.

You don't have to have separate storage for two different protocols.

The management tool is a good tool that is built on vSan. It integrates well with the vCenter.

The solution's best feature is its simplicity. It's so simple to deploy it. You've got the VMware, and it's own appliance. It is really helpful. The system is online within half a day and saves so much time.

It's a feature-rich solution with an interface that is in permanent reconstruction and optimization, which is very good.
