Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."It has reduced our overall maintenance and overhead by having to only maintain physical boxes for one cluster instead of having to manage physical boxes for two clusters."
"The ability to choose our own hardware and our own vendors for this was hugely beneficial, as we had pre-existing relationships with vendors we wanted to maintain."
"User friendly interface and straight forward implementation."
"The ProActive support gives me peace of mind because I am a one man shop, but with the technical support behind me, I feel like more than just one person. We spent two to three hours, depending on what we have to do, always on the phone, and they do not push to end the call."
"We went from "no way DB applications would have good performance" to "Wow! We can now actually have a DB running and have some VMs running at the same time.""
"I have found the graphical user interface to be the most useful thing about Virtual SAN."
"The access to our data is quicker and cheaper than it used to be in a traditional storage system."
"It's very easy to resize disks and they show up in VMware almost instantly."
"Their Google operating system is more mature, so their results are much better."
"The solution is very stable. We haven't had any issues."
"Great flexibility and scalability."
"The speed of the operations and of creation of VM is fantastic."
"One of the most valuable features of Nutanix is that it's easy to use. I love this solution—it's easy to maintain and update, and I think it's almost perfect."
"This operating system offers stability. Setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Acropolis AOS are ease of management, hyper-convergence platform, and it has robust operations."
"The dashboard of Nutanix Acropolis AOS allows for simple management. The dashboard has all the information online about what's going on at any given time."
"It’s simple to use hardware to fix performance issues. Our issue is poor coding/queries. This greatly speeded things up. It’s too costly to track down poor programming in applications. The price of a developer’s time to scan through all the coding is high compared to buying Violin."
"VIOLIN QV2020 is the latest in terms of performance. It has high-speed data access and processing capabilities, distinguishing it as a leader in its storage solutions category."
"Other vendors such as VMware vSAN have a bigger community of users, so it is easier to find more pre-sale or post-sale information from users."
"Performance when in storage-separate configuration needs to be improved."
"I would like to see more advanced free versions."
"I had issues locating the documentation that applied to my version of StarWind vSAN."
"The initial setup got a little confusing at a few points with differences between the VMware version in documentation vs the latest, etc."
"Although minor, some of the documentation could be rewritten to be clearer."
"The main thing I would like to see improved is the level of documentation."
"In all areas the product could be made faster."
"Make it easier to manage."
"Could have better visibility with the main OEM backup integrators."
"There is a need is to be able to consume Nutanix storage from outside the cluster for other, non-Nutanix workloads."
"I would like to see official compatibility with Red Hat in the future."
"Notifications could be improved as they're not currently very useful."
"They could improve the graphical user interface."
"We could always use a performance upgrade, or simplified management."
"The name of the solutions offered by Nutanix does not indicate what the tool does."
"VIMM replacement is poorly designed. You have to slide out an entire drawer, remove the cover and then pop out the failed VIMM. I would like to see a front replacement just like with hard disks. This leaves room for error; for example, when you slide it out from the rack, you are moving cables along the cable management arm. This leaves the possibility of accidentally unplugging a cable from the array if it is not seated properly. Also, you might pinch the cables when sliding it back into the server rack."
"I set up Wi-Fi for storage, and since then, we haven't experienced any interruptions in service."
