Popular Comparisons Acropolis AOS is scalable to nodes and the cloud.
The most valuable features of Nutanix Acropolis AOS are storage and hyper-converged. The solution is easy to use and the administration is very good.
Popular Comparisons The flexibility is most valuable. Being able to manage things quickly if something goes wrong is also valuable. Very recently, we had one node that went down due to a power problem, but there was really no major impact on the systems running on top of it.
Popular Comparisons VxRail has improved our organization by providing our admin team with an easy-to-use interface.
We like the design and that it meets data storage needs.
Popular Comparisons Its ease of use is valuable. It is being used in a mining company. They wanted their working nodes to be seamless, and they wanted ease of use. That's why they opted for SimpliVity. They are running VMware virtual machines on it.
Popular Comparisons StarWind support has been great in helping resolve other issues not caused by their software.
I've been really impressed with it so far. I think it's pretty great, actually. It does exactly what we need it to do, and it does it well, so I would recommend it. Plus, the support has been very good.
Popular Comparisons The hosts came preconfigured, and it was plug-and-play.
We were able to set it up via the documentation and only needed their support a handful of times.
Popular Comparisons The most useful feature of SANsymphony is that it's able to manage any brand of block storage.
Storage is always available.
Popular Comparisons It's very easy to integrate with the ACI network.
The most valuable feature of Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series is the integration with everything in a much smoother, such as in physical and virtual environments. VMware NSX is a simpler solution but, Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series is more robust compared to VMware NSX.

How do you decide it's time for your organization to implement/deploy Hyper-Converged Infrastructure?
If applicable, please specify some specific bullets that should help make this decision easier.
Thanks for the help!

Hi community,
How does hyper-converged differ from converged? Is one better than the other?
When would one choose converged, rather than hyper-converged? Are there pros and cons to each type of solution?

There are a lot of vendors offering HCI solutions. What is the #1 most important criteria to look for when evaluating solutions?

From my own research, it seems that Converged Infrastructure relies on hardware, whereas Hyper-Converged Infrastructure is software-based. What does this mean in practical terms? What are the pros and cons of each?

We all know that it's important to conduct a trial and/or proof-of-concept as part of the buying process.
Do you have any advice for the community about the best way to conduct a trial or POC? How do you conduct a trial effectively?
Are there any mistakes to avoid?
