Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Converged Infrastructure."We never have any issues or glitches."
"Our primary use case is for E-Business Suite applications the applications for the government, and most of the applications that use an HCM."
"Because it's classified as an engineered system, it's all integrated, it's all supported by one vendor. We don't have to go to multiple vendors for support, it's all integrated under Oracle."
"SuperCluster is basically a combination of Oracle, with Exadata and Compute node features, so it is a computing cluster that is integrated in a single infrastructure such that we don't need a separate solution for the application database, the data storage database, and everything else the application needs."
"The performance is significantly improved, and the administration is easy because it is a single platform end-to-end."
"The two features that I find to be the most valuable are high availability and high performance."
"Unix is not as easy for the users, it needs more maintenance and costs extra."
"In this setup, the traffic is distributed among the nodes, enhancing the overall performance compared to a scenario where all traffic is directed to a single server."
"Scalability and technical support."
"The management is really difficult when it comes to systems with traditional services."
"I would like to see control domain and zone management via a management console, similar to that of OVM."
"We have faced network connectivity issues."
"It's not working as we expected. We thought it would be fast and reliable but we are not getting the reliability. It's not stable."
"They may have made some improvements but based on the version that I am using, it is a little complicated because it is based on the Unix Operating system."
"Speaking from a business perspective, our main problem is that our particular edition of SuperCluster is now at end-of-life status, making it obsolete and impossible to get support for. This presents a challenge for us, as finding a path to our next solution is not easy."
"If it had capabilities to integrate really well with DB2 or SQL Server or Hitachi SANs, those sort of things, that would be a real benefit. Right now, it's fully supported only under all Oracle infrastructure."
"Not a very user friendly solution."
"If they had an application that centralized the administration, not about the monitoring, but for the configuration, it would be better."
