We performed a comparison between IBM VersaStack and Vblock [EOL] 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."Replication and DR implementation became faster."
"The combination of Cisco's architecture and IBM's flash technology. Cisco provides FI technology which provides one simple architecture. IBM's flash technology is fast."
"The solution has high IOPS and the I/O is important because it gives us more transactions per second."
"Access to VMs is now faster due to the centralized management console."
"Systems run solidly."
"It has improved system performance, batch times for off-hours processing, and reliability with production applications."
"The most valuable features are reliability and high availability."
"VMware NSX: Provides the ability for our organisation to deliver true DR."
"The most valuable feature is that it is centrally managed, as it is quite easy for our customers to manage everything, end-to-end."
"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 high redundancy of components has minimized frequent service degradation/failure."
"Raw data mapping for storage should be a given option."
"The solution should improve deduplication to get a lot of savings."
"I would like to see them improve their switching infrastructure and rely on Cisco configurations. They are a bit more complex and technical, but result in a slightly reduced cost in terms of switching on the network side of it."
"Tighter alignment could simplify and speed up the configuration and delivery process."
"RCM upgrades were not scripted, and you needed to roll on your own. We were led to believe this would be otherwise."
"Troublesome relationships with VCE at the beginning of our use came undone quickly after we went live."
"While most public clouds are deployed on Linux, there is current no certified Vblock working on KVM hypervisors."
"The integration with other vendors' products needs to be looked at. It's not as flexible as we would like it to be."
"The user control could be more advanced. They should work to improve this in future releases."
"In the next release, I would like to see a smaller footprint in the data center and have improvements to disk performance."
