Nuno Mendes

IT Manager - Resp.Department at Parvalorem

We have servicing contracts with all parts of our infrastructure, but with HyperFlex you typically only need one person to manage aspects such as implementation and configuration. It does not need much in the way of maintenance, which makes working with it very easy. The one problem we have, though, is that when you have 20-50 VMs and you want to do updates for either HyperFlex or VMware, there's usually a bit of extra work to do in this process, not knowing whether your interventions or updates will cause problems. But overall, it's easy, and I would rate HyperFlex's stability a ten out of ten.

One of the major features of HX is that you have the replication factor, and you have the option to copy your data - and not just once. You also have the option to copy it twice or even get a third copy. It depends on the RF while deploying the checks. This is one of the great benefits. That way, if there is a major outage and you lose one of the nodes, you still have your data, and the data store is up and running, and your service won't be impacted. This is very beneficial for our company as we own a service that should be up and running 24/7. It's related to one of the government sectors, and it's very critical to have it always up and to avoid any downtime. The initial setup is very straightforward. It's stable. We can easily scale the solution.

Assistant Manager at Empower

My advice to others is if you have VMware, then you should choose Cisco or HP rather than going with Dell. I choose Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series because of the seamless integration which I was interested in. It is a complete solution for proper software-defined data centers with hardware, software, and everything else. I rate Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series an eight out of ten.

Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series [EOL] Reviews Summary
Author info	Rating	Review Summary
IT Manager - Resp.Department at Parvalorem	4.5	We are a state-affiliated financial company using Cisco HyperFlex HX hosts for on-premises operations. The solution provided excellent performance and ROI, but upgrading is costly. With its end-of-life in 2024, we'll likely shift to a cloud solution.
Assistant VP, Information Technology at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees	3.5	I primarily use Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series for development and testing. I appreciate its database and deduplication features, but the need for numerous nodes is cumbersome. Improvements in architecture and better integration capabilities would enhance efficiency and manageability.
IT Enterprise System Administrator at Nafeza	4.0	No summary available
Deputy Manager at PacECloud	4.0	No summary available
Assistant Manager at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees	4.0	No summary available
Senior Deputy Director of IT at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees	4.0	As a Deputy Operative Director of IT, I've found Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series offers excellent data protection, uptime, and scalability. It outperformed others during evaluations. However, resource optimization, integration with HPE, and documentation improvements are needed. It delivers solid ROI.
Presales Solutions Architect at Intracom Telecom	4.0	I reviewed Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series, used for enterprise-grade applications. It's valued for being easy to start as a one-stop solution. However, with no existence now and lacking cloud integrations, its discontinuation is understandable.
Asst. Manager IT at APM Terminals, Inc.	3.0	No summary available
