Customers use the Dell VxBlock System for new applications or solutions. For example, I'm working on a new mixing solution for a whole country in Africa. When we talk about it, there are many locations, and we're looking for efficiency, utilization, and solutions that can expand the application database we're deploying. It's used a lot for server consolidation and to consolidate environments into new ones for easy management. It's also used in health environments where they need to create infrastructure for products or solutions they want to launch to the market quickly.

The most valuable features for clients' operations include management of the virtualized environment, node management, configuration deployment, and system management with artificial intelligence. Hyperconverged solutions help organizations achieve multiple frames, mainly in management. Instead of having three, four, or five people managing different servers, you can now concentrate on one or two people to do all those things, maybe for machine learning, while having one person manage the infrastructure.

The integrated components improve IT efficiency by allowing us to spin up an environment quickly for any solution or department without going through rigorous stress. We can do this within one or two digits of time. It also allows full utilization of resources. For example, if a department needs a certain amount of processing power, memory, and disk space, we can provision exactly what they require. When they need more, we can easily increase or decrease resources. This efficiency in provisioning reduces time to value - what might take eight months to achieve can be done in a day or two in this environment.

Integration is very seamless if you know what you're doing. We always do our due diligence before deployment, using Dell applications to size the environment properly. I haven't encountered any difficulties integrating, even with storage systems for large organizations.

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.

Everything is delivered to me in a single box, which simplifies management. It is not complex to handle with the available management tools. The system combines Cisco UCS, and I can manage everything with ease. 

Additionally, I am using Cisco solutions, and my technical team possesses the expertise to utilize them effectively, even though they are based in Russia.

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.

There are several valuable features in this product. It offers flexibility, security and speed. 

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.

A valuable feature for me is the virtual machines for the infrastructure.

The most valuable feature is the flash.

Integration with VMware and VMotion definitely brings a lot of value.

I like that it is manageable.

With a converged infrastructure, it's easy to troubleshoot from network to server issues from a single point of reference.

The ease of management is another valuable feature.

Its performance is very good.

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.

The most valuable features of the solution would be its good default features and the compressions. Those are the features we use regularly.  

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.
