Sr. Cloud Architect at Intuitive Technology Partners
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.

Streamlines resource management through centralized automation and automatic upgrades
The most valuable feature of VxRail is the VxRail Manager, which centralizes resources like storage built with vSAN. It provides a unified way to access these resources, making management straightforward. Another benefit is the fully automated upgrade process, which is completed with just one click through the VxRail Manager. This centralization and automation enhance efficiency significantly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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, and it's much, much better than VMware."
"The product is very reliable, with a lot of redundancy and highly available pulses, and we haven't had any major issues with it since we bought it."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure is the relocating of resources."
"VxRail is a very good software-defined solution that has been simplified so that it's very easy to use, very robust, and especially well-suited for small or medium-sized organizations, with excellent built-in vSAN and strong support from Dell EMC."
"The update process is very convenient."
"VxRail has high performance and has great efficiency. There is a single place for us to manage all of our virtual machines. The ability to right-size instead of overcommit VMs is a large benefit."
"The most valuable feature is that it is VMware-embedded. VxRail HCI is on VMware, and we can use VMware vCenter and vSphere. Our infrastructure consists of servers and VMware, and by using VxRail, our experience and familiarity have not changed because VxRail HCI is on VMware."
"The initial setup was not complex."
"We enjoy the ease of management since all of the resources are located on one box — one single point of support."
"VxRail has improved our organization by providing our admin team with an easy-to-use interface."
"It improved from an operations standpoint as we have reduced failures compared to a previous vendor. The hardware that we previously used had a lot of issues with components failing regularly."
 

Cons

"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."
"The stability is poor as compared to VMware."
"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."
"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."
"The product is not scalable. It's a fixed item, so it has limitations."
"There are still some features which aren't built into Cisco, like virtualized networking, that use its applications. However, these can be purchased through another product as an additional licensing cost to us."
"It could be improved by having more information on the integration portion of ACI."
"The present SaaS model license structure can be improved."
"The product could support and have more compliance with other vendors."
"Deployment was not initially straightforward for us. We had an incompatibility issue that was very difficult for Dell Professional Service to solve."
"if we're looking at costs, Nutanix will win because it allows flexibility in the type of hardware you can use."
"I rated it a four because of external issues and also the SLA as they don't meet the SLA requirements for their tickets."
"The initial setup is very complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure's pricing a six out of ten."
"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."
"It has a yearly subscription. It can be for one year, three years, or five years."
"Though somewhat expensive. But in terms of performance and stability, it's worth it."
"The VMware licenses are included and we do not have to worry about the license, everything is integrated."
"VxRail is quite expensive and could be cheaper. I would say that the main difference between VxRail and the competition is cost. There may be some differences in features, but I would say that it's mainly the costs."
"The solution is very expensive."
"Most of hyper-converged solutions require additional licenses for the virtualization layer (like VMware)."
"Price is a bit of a challenge, particularly if you want extra features or higher performance."
"The cost was cheaper compared to other virtualization solutions."
