The most valuable features of this solution are fast deployment, security, and it is easy to upgrade.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This solution is scalable.

How are customer service and support?

Currently, there is no local technical support. 

HP technical support for HPE Hyper-Converged systems has a hotline available.

We did not have any issues. 

We do not have a site engineer, but our organization is considering have an on-site technician. We are no longer using this solution.

How was the initial setup?

Self Implementation is adequate for this solution.

When we buy something in our country, they require a backup of the configuration prior to the implementation. After that, if there are problems then you need support.

The implementation process is the Windows type.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

There are costs in addition to the standard licensing fees.

What other advice do I have?

I am not currently using this solution but I do have some experience. In my previous job, we were using this solution.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
