In general, stability is rock solid. VCE responds and reacts to security related issues quickly, but it is not on the bleeding edge of every last upgrade / VMware release, as it takes them time to bundle together and test out a set of new software packages, firmware, drivers, VMware patch levels, etc. into a matrix release bundle.

This is a highly stable solution.

We haven't had any stability issues, but we have had compatibility issues with third-party packages.

This is a stable product, which is the primary reason that a customer purchases it. It is guaranteed that it is going to work as it should.

1. Slow, old delivery times are surprising, so forget about collecting, computing, storage, and networking components separately as this process takes a long time. Vblock products are fully engineered and are delivered up to work (D.C. in a box) in less than 45 days, which means that you have a fully working solution into your data center quickly.
2. Since the box is integrated under ex-VCE vendors and employees. It is deployed after a logical design and survey, so all you need after delivery is to power up your Vblock and work with your apps.

As the product is fully bundled, everything is under control. Based on a well known & improved technologies vBlock components are very powerful (even listed into TPC website as the top three regarding computing!) and stable. VCE also takes care of the whole security of the solution and advertise about security issues and how to solve them.

No.

There were stability issues, such as various bugs. It was most noticeable with VMware NSX.

We've had no issues with stability.

It’s very stable, no more bugs than any other problems with 2,500 operating systems.

It's stable.

Systems run solidly, although we never really took advantage of VCE tools, like Vision or AMP very much. RCM upgrades are painful.
