Dell VxRail vs. Pivot3 Acuity

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.

• Deployment was very easy. Pivot3 staff were involved in the POC, and the transition was fairly smooth.
• This is an all-flash hyperconverged cluster. It is easily scalable and has excellent performance.
• We frequently burst internal virtual workloads, and this 5 node cluster can support around 15,000 IOPs and 1 GB/sec of throughput.

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.

• We were able to exponentially reduce the cost spending to buy different components.
• As it has VMWare integration, possible to work on different operating systems.
• Automation of IT operations helped the colleagues to work on different manual tasks.
