We performed a comparison between Dell PowerEdge VRTX and Hitachi Unified Compute Platform HC Series based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Converged Infrastructure."The online UA is very good in comparison to others."
"It is pretty easy to install."
"We now find that the solution is quite stable."
"It's a good solution when you don't need a lot of IT."
"While I cannot say Dell is better than HP or IBM, Dell has a strong presence here in Qatar. We can recommend Dell because of that strategic factor."
"The security is very good on the solution."
"The solution is stable."
"We were satisfied after we upgraded to a professional next-day on-site support."
"In our implementations, HDS Storage Virtualization has helped in migrating data with the least amount of downtime, compared to other storage technologies."
"The replication technology can move data faster than EMC MirrorView and requires less bandwidth. The Storage Virtualization technology is the most mature in the market, outside of IBM’s Storwize (which has a lot of compatibility issues, and EMC’s very expensive VPLEX solution); and it works."
"This solution allowed us to move from using standalone systems to having all our data center management in one place."
"VRTX is a bit simplified to the extent that it is a mainstream type of solution for small businesses. If a company needs a more complex solution or something that is a time saver or has more power or scalability, it is probably not the best solution. However, when a company grows and its needs grow, this type of environment can be definitely migrated towards a lab environment or pre-prod testing, not necessarily production. It can still have a second life for the other types of use."
"Dell PowerEdge VRTX can improve by providing support for M2 drives."
"We've had general issues related to the solution being difficult."
"I'd like to be able to increase capacity."
"Management of storage and networking is web-based, slow, and difficult."
"The licensing can be difficult to understand."
"The nodes should be synced with the server so that the solution can be used from the cloud when any or all nodes are down."
"The storage can be improved."
"An area for improvement would be technical support. In the next release, I would like to see more features added to make this a more complete solution."
"HDS reaches a ceiling depending on model. The G200 cannot transition to G400, the G400 can transition to G600 but cannot transition to G800, which is the top-end model."
"An update to its technology would be good. The G Series has been around for more than five years and HDS seriously needs to ramp up, since the competition has better performance at a lower cost with better features and functionalities. For example, it needs redirect on write Snapshot, preconfigured storage tiering with better IOPS, built-in deduplication technology on hybrid disk, etc."
