Combines network, storage, and compute functions in one place

I want the product to be used more efficiently and for our system to connect easily with cloud services like AWS, Oracle, and IBM. We can also improve by adding advanced features like snapshots, replication, and encryption, allowing for more growth. Introducing features such as data duplication, data analytics, and AI-driven insights will improve its deployments. I've noticed a slight impact on performance, especially with high-end computing virtual machines for SAP HANA. While I don't have concrete data to support this observation, customers have raised concerns about discrepancies in performance.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure is the relocating of resources."

"The product is very reliable. We haven't had any major issues with the product since we bought it."

"The solution is stable and everything is taken care of through the Huawei support center. They ensure everything is running smoothly. It's been very good."

"The pricing of the solution is excellent. It's one of the main reasons a customer chooses Huawei. It's much, much better than VMware."

"The best thing about the solution is that it combines network, storage, and compute functions in one place. Unlike the traditional three-tier setup, you don't need to buy separate devices for each part. This makes it much easier to control and manage everything in one go without switching between different places for different tasks."

"One feature we found useful was the product's complete ability to integrate with vCenter."

"The most valuable feature is the visual encoding."

"The most valuable feature is the ease of implementation."

Cons

"Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure could improve the security of the solution. However, we are comfortable using it. Additionally, there could be more information provided for the solution and the interface could be more user-friendly."

"Technical support needs improvement. There's a lot of language barriers."

"t would be helpful if the solution was able to collaborate or integrate with other well-known monitoring tools. Right now, you have to work hard to get it configured. It would be a good selling point for them if they could open up their solution to more integrations."

"The solution currently does not have cloud integration."

"I want the product to be used more efficiently and for our system to connect easily with cloud services like AWS, Oracle, and IBM. We can also improve by adding advanced features like snapshots, replication, and encryption, allowing for more growth. Introducing features such as data duplication, data analytics, and AI-driven insights will improve its deployments."

"In the next release, I would like to see compatibility and support for critical applications, like SAP."

"Snapshot notification would be a good addition."

"One of the biggest problems with HCI vendors was the lack of flexibility for adding resources"

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure is very good. There is a perpetual license for the solution, there are not any additional costs for the hardware. We have a license in case there is any new functionality that is required."

"I rate Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure's pricing a six out of ten."

"Our fees are approximately $100,000 yearly."
