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.

If you want to deploy your AI system with precofigured solution and validated architecture and also want to scale your system, NetApp ONTAP AI is go to product. If you want to build not so large pipleline for analytics, or an ai system that dont require complex computation then its not recommended.

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
