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.
