Hyperconverged setup has unified support and cut costs but still needs simpler scaling and upgrades
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.

Combines network, storage, and compute functions in one place
I want the product to be used more efficiently and for our system to connect easily with cloud services like AWS, Oracle, and IBM. We can also improve by adding advanced features like snapshots, replication, and encryption, allowing for more growth. Introducing features such as data duplication, data analytics, and AI-driven insights will improve its deployments. I've noticed a slight impact on performance, especially with high-end computing virtual machines for SAP HANA. While I don't have concrete data to support this observation, customers have raised concerns about discrepancies in performance.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The speed in which Cisco Compute Hyperconverged assisted us without latency, failure, and overall reliability was impressive."
"Cisco Compute Hyperconverged benefits our organization by simplifying infrastructure, combining compute, storage, and networking on one platform."
"Centralized management through Cisco Intersight enhances visibility into hardware health, firmware status, and infrastructure operations, reducing manual checks, speeding up fault isolation, and making routine maintenance more consistent."
"Cisco Compute Hyperconverged offers generally better performance than most other HCI solutions such as Nutanix, VX Rail, or any Azure local."
"Regarding Cisco Compute Hyperconverged's data protection capabilities in terms of business continuity and protection, I would rate them as a nine, as there are no concerns concerning protection."
"We see value for money in this solution."
"Cisco Compute Hyperconverged has solid risk governance with technical specifications for recommended settings for securing the infrastructure, and ongoing vulnerability fixes from both Cisco and Broadcom ensure it is well-managed."
"Cisco Compute Hyperconverged has positively impacted my organization by providing automatic failover and diversity of the failover which has helped us greatly in disaster recovery."
"The best thing about the solution is that it combines network, storage, and compute functions in one place. Unlike the traditional three-tier setup, you don't need to buy separate devices for each part. This makes it much easier to control and manage everything in one go without switching between different places for different tasks."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure is the relocating of resources."
"The solution is stable and everything is taken care of through the Huawei support center. They ensure everything is running smoothly. It's been very good."
"The product is very reliable, with a lot of redundancy and highly available pulses, and we haven't had any major issues with it since we bought it."
"The pricing of the solution is excellent; it's one of the main reasons a customer chooses Huawei, and it's much, much better than VMware."
 

Cons

"Cisco Compute Hyperconverged is good already, but something that still has potential to improve would be the performance. Performance-wise it is good, but the negative aspect is the troubleshooting, as it takes too much time to resolve issues."
"When Cisco Compute Hyperconverged was still supported, I wished for upgrades to be nicer, as we always ran into issues."
"Initially, we noticed that the software and firmware upgradation of the hyperconverged system was very complex, necessitating downtime or a long process and making upgrades difficult."
"Scalability of Cisco Compute Hyperconverged can be tedious. While you can add compute or storage resources, the process can be hindered by small anomalies on Cisco Compute Hyperconverged clusters, making my experience with scaling about 50-50."
"While Cisco Compute Hyperconverged with Nutanix is highly regarded for its performance and cloud-like simplicity for real-world deployment, one area for improvement could be high entry and renewal pricing."
"Initially, Cisco Compute Hyperconverged was not stable, but we have gotten it to that stage; I previously mentioned the blade chassis and a number of blades failing, as well as some cards being dead on arrival when the equipment initially came."
"Regarding the stability rating, it should be around seven because the support from Cisco is nice, but the performance of the product does not meet our preferences."
"Improvements for HyperFlex could include making it more reliable or easier to use, as sometimes new, less experienced people struggle to use it."
"t would be helpful if the solution was able to collaborate or integrate with other well-known monitoring tools. Right now, you have to work hard to get it configured. It would be a good selling point for them if they could open up their solution to more integrations."
"The solution currently does not have cloud integration."
"Technical support needs improvement. There's a lot of language barriers."
"The stability is poor as compared to VMware."
"The product is not scalable. It's a fixed item, so it has limitations."
"I want the product to be used more efficiently and for our system to connect easily with cloud services like AWS, Oracle, and IBM. We can also improve by adding advanced features like snapshots, replication, and encryption, allowing for more growth. Introducing features such as data duplication, data analytics, and AI-driven insights will improve its deployments."
"Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure could improve the security of the solution. However, we are comfortable using it. Additionally, there could be more information provided for the solution and the interface could be more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure is very good. There is a perpetual license for the solution, there are not any additional costs for the hardware. We have a license in case there is any new functionality that is required."
"I rate Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure's pricing a six out of ten."
