The cost is higher compared to non-Dell vSAN Ready Nodes, but when compared with external storage solutions, there are significant benefits.
Dell vSAN Ready Nodes offer built-in storage management and ensure high availability with features like compression and Kubernetes usage. While the initial implementation is user-friendly, upgrades require manual effort, and pricing, including maintenance, is high. Scalability faces limitations with a maximum of 32 nodes per cluster, and frequent disk failures pose concerns. Compatibility with other hardware and public cloud integration needs improvement, despite generally good technical support contributing to a positive experience.
