StarWind HyperConverged Appliance and Lenovo ThinkAgile VX Series compete in the hyperconverged infrastructure space. Lenovo ThinkAgile VX Series has the upper hand for its feature-rich environment and scalability, while StarWind stands out for cost-effectiveness and support.
Features: StarWind HyperConverged Appliance offers seamless integration, simplified management via native automation tools, and robust data protection features. Lenovo ThinkAgile VX Series provides advanced virtualization capabilities, scalability, and broad compatibility with VMware environments.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: StarWind HyperConverged Appliance is recognized for straightforward deployment and strong customer support, which eases the setup process. Lenovo ThinkAgile VX Series offers comprehensive deployment services and responsive support, but involves a longer setup time due to its complexity.
Pricing and ROI: StarWind HyperConverged Appliance has competitive pricing and quick ROI, appealing due to lower initial cost and operational expenses. Lenovo ThinkAgile VX Series requires a higher upfront investment but promises substantial long-term returns through enhanced productivity and scalability for larger enterprises.
Differentiating yourself from the competition is vital in today’s fast-moving business environment. To support your business, IT systems must be simple, agile, and cost-effective so you can meet your customers’ requirements to be ever online. Lenovo ThinkAgile VX Series enables you to meet these requirements by focusing on the business outcome you require, rather than on building your infrastructure.
ThinkAgile VX Series, powered by VMware vSAN, is available in several models. Each is preconfigured, pretested, and optimized to provide the simplest way to bring a new VMware hyperconverged environment online. If you have an existing VMware environment, the VX Series can integrate into it easily.
Designed for any size business from SMBs through large enterprises, VX Series can be used as infrastructure for remote office/branch office (ROBO) and retail stores as well as virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and enterprise applications.
For SMB, ROBO and Enterprises, who look to bring in quick deployment and operation simplicity to virtualization workloads and reduce related expenses, our solution is StarWind HyperConverged Appliance (HCA). It unifies commodity servers, disks and flash, hypervisor of choice, StarWind Virtual SAN, Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct or VMware Virtual SAN and associated software into a single manageable layer. The HCA supports scale-up by adding disks and flash, and scale-out by adding extra nodes.
StarWind HyperConverged Appliance consists of StarWind Virtual SAN, Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct or VMware Virtual SAN “Ready Nodes”, targeting those, who are building their virtualization infrastructure from scratch. In case there is an existing set of servers, we offer a “software only version”, which is essentially our years proven StarWind Virtual SAN. Basically, it’s the fuel powering StarWind HCA.
