Has delivered reliable and dynamic server performance

This process is very good, with a processor that has 32 cores, which is sufficient to meet my qualifications and needs. It's quite a good server, and I've been using it for the last three years. I also use different types of dynamic solutions for network design like AutoCAD and SolarWind.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable."

"It is simple to use and it's user-friendly."

"The online UA is very good in comparison to others."

"Dell PowerEdge VRTX supports a lot of memory which has allowed us to keep our system size smaller."

"We were satisfied after we upgraded to a professional next-day on-site support."

"In my view, the only aspect that could be enhanced in the Dell PowerEdge VRTX solution is the pricing. Apart from that, the overall performance and features of the solution are flawless."

"This process is very good, with a processor that has 32 cores, which is sufficient to meet my qualifications and needs."

"The main advantage, as I observed, was Dell VMware, which was pre-installed on the device."

More Dell PowerEdge VRTX pros

"In cases where system interruptions occur, it enables rapid restoration, ensuring a prompt return to normal service levels."

"Provides easy access to our data."

"It is a stable solution."

"Huawei FusionStorage does well in its basic functions and offers broad utility."

"The product has a very simple GUI-based management platform and it is very simple to use. There is a very easy step-by-step configuration procedure that guides you through, and you can configure it very easily."

"The solution’s most valuable feature is its performance."

Cons

"I'd like to be able to increase capacity."

"We've had general issues related to the solution being difficult."

"The scalability could be better."

"The licensing can be difficult to understand."

"The scalability is limited with one chassis and the amount of storage it will give you, but it is mainly used for small offices."

"A disadvantage could be the price."

"The storage can be improved."

"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."

More Dell PowerEdge VRTX cons

"The product needs improvement in terms of affordability."

"The solution’s support could be improved."

"The initial setup and installation is not that straightforward. It should be made easier and the time to install should be reduced."

"The problem with Huawei is that it generally oversells. As a principle, Huawei does not educate the partner or the end user enough to scale up their solution correctly."

"I hope for improvements in the product's processing ability and performance."

"Their cloud services could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is fine."

"On the scale of pricing, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I would rate it as a three. I am familiar with the overall cost, which involves licenses from Dell and VMware, among others, making it a combination of various license types."

"The solution price of Dell PowerEdge VRTX could be reduced. However, when comparing the price of Dell PowerEdge VRTX to other solutions, such as HP and Lenovo, it was the best price for what they offer."

"We are renewing the support and we are purchasing the license for the software."

"Fully configured, it costs about $50,000 or $55,000. I did purchase a used one or refurbished one. I have been very happy with it so far. Even if it is an older unit, it doesn't look like its age, and I would say it has been a great choice so far for me. Obviously, I would have thought twice if I had to pay for a brand new one because it is still an older technology with the risk of being discontinued. I talked to Dell, and they're still selling it, but they're not promoting it. They're promoting another line of products right now for hyper-converged, which are much more expensive."

"This product is more reasonably-priced than similar solutions by HPE."

"The solution is less expensive than competitors."

"We bought a license for seven years."

"It is expensive but might be optimal based on the partnership."

"If one is a cheap solution and ten means it is a very expensive product, I would rate the price as two or three."
