    Useful for virtualized environment, node management, configuration deployment, and system management with artificial intelligence

    Pros

    "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. "

    Cons

    "I'd like to see more simplification regarding integration, deployment, and connectivity for future releases. In deployment, I'd like to see simplification in creating VNets and positioning VMware across nodes. I want a template that simplifies the creation of VNets and VMware positioning. I'd push for more simplification and an intuitive graphical GUI that simplifies things with just a click. "

    Can be deployed quickly, is easy to manage, and is stable and resilient

    Pros

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

    Cons

    "There are components of VxBlock that are not managed or supported by Dell because some of the components are from Cisco. Thus, when there are problems with compute nodes, though Dell was managing the interaction, we had to rely on Cisco to solve the issue. When Cisco was not responding as quickly as Dell would for their components, it made it difficult for us because we needed to have the failed nodes back up and running. As such, the disparate ownership of components in the equipment is an issue."

    A high-performance replacement for our legacy data center in a single cabinet

    Pros

    "The most valuable feature of this solution is the speed."

    Cons

    "This solution does not support Hyper-V, and we would like the new version to be supported and certified to work with Hyper-V."

    Has good performance and manageability

    Pros

    "VxBlock has good performance, so that is an advantage."

    Cons

    "It's a good product but the price could be lowered. It's expensive. "

    Highly optimized equipment that increases efficiencies and is very stable

    Pros

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

    Cons

    "The only thing that I can say is when you procure the VxBlock, obviously you have to complete detailed questionnaires about your architecture including the configuration, et cetera. If you make a mistake on the implementation, then you need to rebuild the entire VxBlock. That is just a point of consideration rather than a flaw. You need to be absolutely sure and validate the upfront configuration information that you provide because your VxBlock comes delivered and built, according to that exact information."
