Brocade VDX (discontinued) vs. MRI eSight

My experience since I started working with Extreme VDX has been great and everything has been working effectively. I give it 10/10 in performance since it has never failed us during our normal operations. Networking across our company and WAN has been covered by powerful fabric technologies that enhance secure and transparent business operations. It supports both wired and wireless connections with switches that network them through our applications.

• The VDX is very simple to configure.
• Documentation on the product is amazing.
• The VDX will interface with any data center hardware; there is interoperability with all the BIG vendors: Dell, EMC, NetApp.
• I have a pair of VDXs running at my DR site that has been up for over 8 years without any issues!

• I once had a problem with a USB drive and had a lot of trouble fixing it. We can use more documents and a better way to recover the drive. I understand the problems that every vendor faces with proprietary software. If you are a customer, this should not be a problem.
• It has limited commands.

I have not had an opportunity to use a similar featured platform in my networking journey. All I have learned is that Extreme VDX has great potential for controlling and managing networking operations in our company. The data analytics insights that we receive from data analysis have developed great planning and decision-making infrastructure. The speed of operation is always stable with high data transfer rate.

• We definitely have a great ROI on the VDX cluster at my DR site; 8 years without issue!
• It takes so very little of my time because it has been so reliable, which allows me to be productive in other areas of the network.
• After the transition from Brocade to Extreme VDX, it was a little rocky with the code at first but things have improved with R & D.
