The scalability is okay, but it could be better. For linear and horizontal scalability, you will have to add nodes rather than just create separate storage.

We've not added additional resources, but we believe that it's highly scalable. We believe that at any time we need to add resources we can easily add those resources to it. We don't have plans to increase usage, and we're using it extensively.

Infrastructure Solutions Architect at a computer software company with 5,001-10,000 employees

It is scalable. Scalability depends on our customer. In South Africa, our enterprise may be 2,000 users, whereas small customers would be 400 to 500 users. What might be considered small to you, is a medium sized customer for us.

From a maintenance point of view, we normally recommend customers to get a three-year warranty for maintenance and support. Then we know that they're covered and that they will get all the latest and greatest firmware. I normally sell additional man hours to assist the customers as well. That is just to assist by doing health checks on a regular basis for them. I normally sell about eight hours. It all depends on the customer's knowledge of the products. It's between eight and sixteen hours a month, where I normally send an engineer on site to do health checks to see if everything's still fine.

Vice President - Head of Technology at a financial services firm with 51-200 employees

VxRail by design has an under systems scalability for whatever solution is provided for us. During the past one and a half years we just added some network cards just to cover the speed. One of them was a major card on the network cards and was one GB. When we changed the network site to have the switches with two GB, we decided also to upgrade network cards there. It was a very small job and since the solution itself it's scalable, we just did it in one day for all 16 nodes. Scalability is good.

CTO at Cloud Technology

It's very scalable because anytime you want to increase a resource, you just add one node, or two nodes or whatever you want to add. It's very easy, it's just a click and play. We have many users. On one application we have more than 150K users. On other applications, we have 100K users. On one application, the minimum we have is 50K users.
