"From a hardware perspective, it's interesting. The selling point of VRTX is that everything is built-in. For a small company that doesn't have a server room or the capabilities of hosting several servers, VRTX has four blades. The equivalent in regular server models would be four servers, which is a minimum of 4U, but it could easily be 8U, and then it would have storage. The storage is included inside the enclosure, and it would require a storage unit. It would also require connectivity, which would be ethernet or another protocol switch. From a software perspective, it's a little bit more integrated. You have an integrated way of managing the whole thing, including storage and networking. It has an internal network that can also be useful. I know for a fact that Dell is almost fazing out the product, and it is not that available anymore because it will just cannibalize their sales. They want to sell the more expensive stuff."
"We started off with a base because we started our infrastructure with Dell and we always propose or prefer Dell which is easier to manage the warranty than with different vendors."
"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."
"With Dell PowerEdge VRTX, there are fewer points, and it is easier to troubleshoot and find your way around it."
"We were satisfied after we upgraded to a professional next-day on-site support."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features are reliability and high availability."
"VMware NSX: Provides the ability for our organisation to deliver true DR."
"The high redundancy of components has minimized frequent service degradation/failure."
"It's an integrated box Mac solution, so it's a plug and play. The deployment and build is pre-made and ready to deploy. It makes it easy to apply."
"The component integration means I don't have to worry about technology mismatches."
"Some of the key features are the ease of operation and access, without constraining actions. The tool is available to actually move things around, do things quickly quickly."
"It has improved system performance, batch times for off-hours processing, and reliability with production applications."
"The XtremIO All-Flash array delivers performance, reliability, and deduplication."
"We've had general issues related to the solution being difficult."
"The scalability could be better."
"The licensing can be difficult to understand."
"The support must be improved."
"I'd like to be able to increase capacity."
"Management of storage and networking is web-based, slow, and difficult."
"The scalability is limited with one chassis and the amount of storage it will give you, but it is mainly used for small offices."
"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."
"RCM upgrades are painful."
"It needs more customer/client involvement in back-end management."
"OEM services requires too much planning and low availability of certified engineers."
"VCE tools, like Vision or AMP were not stand alone, and depended too much on other management consoles."
"Troublesome relationships with VCE at the beginning of our use came undone quickly after we went live."
"The user control could be more advanced. They should work to improve this in future releases."
"Tighter alignment could simplify and speed up the configuration and delivery process."
"The integration with other vendors' products needs to be looked at. It's not as flexible as we would like it to be."
