"It is scalable as the box can be increased by one compute node, if required."
"It has helped us to reduce Oracle licensing costs for database and applications."
"Supports connection to most of network topology, such as VLAN and network segmentation."
"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."
"We have seen measurable increases in our system performance. Those increases have been directly measurable in application performance and the delivery of critical business information to our users."
"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 XtremIO All-Flash array delivers performance, reliability, and deduplication."
"The most valuable features are reliability and high availability."
"UCS Manager worked well for net/blade management and has allowed fairly easy use of dedicated bare-metal blades."
"It has improved system performance, batch times for off-hours processing, and reliability with production applications."
"Finding a fully bundled, deployed, and configured solution with a short delivery time and unique support is really attractive."
"In comparison to competitors like VMware, there's a perceived need for Oracle to enhance OVM, making it more flexible and user-friendly."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"OVM Manager Interface is using HTML5. It should be reconverted to be a Java interface."
"Patching processing takes a long time. Only one compute node is patched at a time."
"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."
"The integration with other vendors' products needs to be looked at. It's not as flexible as we would like it to be."
"RCM upgrades were not scripted, and you needed to roll on your own. We were led to believe this would be otherwise."
"VCE tools, like Vision or AMP were not stand alone, and depended too much on other management consoles."
"The implementation and support could be better."
"Improve the patching process and timeliness of updates/releases."
"It needs more customer/client involvement in back-end management."
"In the next release, I would like to see a smaller footprint in the data center and have improvements to disk performance."
