    Great solution that provides latest of Cisco UCS servers, Cisco Intersight and Nutanix software integration.
    Effective for VMware Stack to build VMs with vCenter and moving VMs live using vMotion.
    Equally effective with Kubernetics and KLS work load
    Easy to add more capacity
    Power footprint could be a limitation for advance AI and ML workloads.
    Very happy with solution

    As Dell EMC VxRail comes as pre-built, the deployment process is simple and easy. It is possible to scale out easily and will get support from the vendor instantly. As it is a Hyperconverged Infrastructure and it is also the integration of Dell EMC hardware and Vmware, the flexibility that VxRail provides is effective. An organization that is looking for all in one place like data management, network management, Integration, and backup software ecosystem can go for this product.

    It is much better , faster and created for high availability work loads that are dynamic to deploy and grow based on need and business demand.
    We have use vSAN deployed prior to this new solution, and we prefer Cisco solution by a large margin to accommodate our growing requirements.
    We are always watching other products and keeping ahead of the technology.

    All of these solutions scored very close together in our testing. Nutanix actually was the highest scoring in ease-of-use, but the integration with Vmware and the pricepoint led us to choose VxRail.
