Cisco Compute Hyperconverged is a reliable system and it is very stable unless we plan to upgrade firmware or do a complete package upgrade. We have an inbuilt Cisco Compute Hyperconverged SRA adapter to directly replicate using the SRM orchestrator, which replicates the datastore volumes we create out of Cisco Compute Hyperconverged from active to DR site. Cisco Compute Hyperconverged SRA adapter is another package that we download and install on the SRM adapter. Instead of utilizing vSphere replication, which requires additional network setup and also additional licensing from Broadcom, we utilize Cisco Compute Hyperconverged inbuilt feature of replication between the active and DR site. This approach saves a lot of cost and also avoids additional adaptation of technology, making it smooth with near real-time replication between the active and DR site. Cisco Compute Hyperconverged has solid risk governance. Cisco provides technical specifications for Cisco Compute Hyperconverged clusters with recommended settings for securing the infrastructure, and ongoing vulnerability fixes from both Cisco and Broadcom ensure it is well-managed. Cisco Compute Hyperconverged can be managed from Cisco Intersight, and the alarms are generally effective, indicating the true status of Cisco Compute Hyperconverged clusters and underlying physical nodes. Although there are occasional false alarms, the overall monitoring and alerting setup is quite good.
