The most valuable features about Synergy is the composability of it. Instead of always having to buying new resources and new pieces of infrastructure to support say, new applications or new projects, you can use Synergy's composability to create the workload that you need to support it. Then, you don't have to keep it forever. Once that project is over, you can reuse those resources, so I think that's probably the biggest, and I think, the most important feature of Synergy is its composability.

Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable features about Synergy is the composability of it."
- "That means you're managing and you're monitoring your networking, your compute, your storage from it, but not everything works."
What is most valuable?
What needs improvement?
The whole point of Synergy is, you're going to have this central management. You're going to have the composer where you can build stuff, and a lot of it's built on OneView. I think they're using the same code, but they've done something different to it to make it easier to use. That means you're managing and you're monitoring your networking, your compute, your storage from it, but not everything works. If you have got Virtual Connect, that can be managed and monitored. You put in a Brocade switch; you can't as there's a limitation.
Also, the storage, the JBODs. Unless you're using VSA, I think it's tied to the frame that you're in.
What other advice do I have?
Try it and buy it.
