Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."It allows you to use ANY consumer or enterprise HDDs and SSDs, and that's a really great thing!"
"We like their high availability. It reduces the downtime for our entire organization's environment."
"We have been able to use more on-prem hardware to reduce cost and also use old disks that we do not trust enough for ordinary RAID or usage."
"The StarWind tech support is extremely helpful, especially during the initial setup."
"It enables us to provide more solution options for our clients, with the reassurance that, when implemented, they will be efficient and stable."
"It's very easy to resize disks and they show up in VMware almost instantly."
"The StarWind VSAN is always up and allows us to move VMS to other nodes for maintenance, without interruption to service."
"It has allowed us to save a lot of time and money by letting us create a vSAN within a Windows VM on the environment it controls."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is the multi-tenancy model, we can create customers and services for them."
"The most valuable feature is the backup capability."
"The most valuable features are the full image backup, and the file or document sharing, allowing documents to be easily accessed from anywhere."
"The most valuable features of Dell VxFlex Ready Nodes are the ease of acquisition."
"Dell EMC VxFlex Ready Nodes can support what we call a heterogeneous environment. So you can have VMware workloads, Hyper-V workloads, bare metal Red Hat workloads, Kubernetes workloads all on the same cluster. You're not pigeonholed into either all bare metal or all virtualized. So it supports basically any platform."
"It would be nice to add the ability to use raw partitions instead of file containers."
"If it's possible to make a driver/solution that does not make use of the iSCSI targets of Windows, that would be great. I don't know if that's possible, however, it could make the configuration a little easier."
"A web management interface would be good, especially for those coming from other solutions that have one."
"There is no IPv6 support. That is our only issue at this time."
"I would like additional documentation regarding possible networking configurations with 10GbE switching."
"The software monitoring should be web-based to be reachable from any VLAN workstation."
"You have to do a "full" sync on write-back cache disks instead of a quick sync if there is an issue."
"We just need more integration with Veeam."
"I would like to see real-time backup supported in the next release of this solution."
"Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is too populated. They have many features, but some features are still missing, it is not complete. They need to improve many features, such as email security and disaster recovery."
"If they could make improvements with the virtual environment then it would be better."
"Dell VxFlex Ready Nodes is a little less sophisticated than some of the other solutions out there. A full-blown cloud foundation has a lot more to it."
"From a technical perspective, it's a pretty rock solid solution. I would say the only area for improvement is around its price."
