Dell VxBlock System Valuable Features

In comparison to traditional file load systems, Dell VxBlock System can be deployed quickly and results in monthly cost savings.

The configuration of management is much easier because we don't have to put in files. Ease of administration and resilience of the system are also valuable features.

Once in a while when nodes fail, Dell VxBlock System will automatically pass those workloads to the surviving nodes without even the administrator knowing it.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the speed. We have a legacy data center that is separated from the blades. It used to be very slow, and now it is very fast.

We have had no trouble with backups.

The most valuable aspect of the solution is the integrated architecture, which is on a highly available, highly redundant infrastructure. It is purposefully built on a highly redundant architecture. 

It's a highly optimized piece of equipment that doesn't give us any problems.

The fact that you've got one single point of contact for your support is very appealing.

The monitoring and management parts are the most valuable. Monitoring is specifically valuable because you have one console to monitor everything. This console is called Vision.

Since VxBlock is built and configured at the factory, the core back-end is very racked. It's at least 99 percent problem-free because it's factory-built. So from an informational point of view, everyone trusts that VxBlock has been tested well at the factory and has been configured to their requirements. So the rest of the add-on connections are in the core, providing a good foundation in the backend for it to run on. It's very well designed.
