    VBlock is extremely well-suited for reliable delivery of virtualized mixed workloads. VBlock provides necessary hardware abstraction that allows for, uninterrupted by hardware failures, continuous delivery of critical services that otherwise do not provide hardware failure resiliency. VBlock is not the best solution from a financial standpoint for cost-sensitive solutions that are programmed for software resiliency.

    1) Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (Formerly CNTK) dont have vast functionalities they are limited to set of rules. 2) They dont support all in one. I.e NetApp ONTAP AI I can analyze, inference and compute on simgle node or system. 3) pricing of Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (Formerly CNTK) is higher than NetApp ONTAP AI
