Use Cases and Deployment Scope
VCE vblock is a converged infrastructure with all three major vendors - Dell EMC, VMware, and Cisco. We migrated all of our workloads running from Oracle SPARC to Vblock to run our IT systems. It is well suited to run highly technical applications like SAP, Oracle, and other business-critical applications.
Pros and Cons
  • Product is well suited to run highly technical applications like SAP, Oracle, and other business critical applications.
  • Easy manageability between vendors for support issues.
  • Product is not simple to manage.
  • Product is very expensive. Documentation is too complicated to understand.
Likelihood to Recommend
Depends upon the workload, check with other vendors like Nutanix, SimpliVity, HPE and funding approved by the business.
Return on Investment
  • Single contact for vendor support & fully tested and integrated.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use vblock to consolidate our VM workloads previously running in HP environment. It is currently use by the whole organization to run our IT systems. The business problem it's trying to resolve is to simplify maintaining a single vendor for the whole infrastructure. Currently it's running different workloads namely SAP, Manufacturing applications, internal webapps, etc.
Pros and Cons
  • Single contact for vendor support.
  • Fully Tested and integrated.
  • Best of breed products combined.
  • Tech Support.
  • Documentation.
  • Management.
Likelihood to Recommend
VCE vBlock is well suited to run highly technical applications like SAP HANA. Having an infrastructure fully built from ground-up and well tested assure customers that everything had been done to architect the solution very well. Running general VM workloads is an overkill due to the expensive cost that this product entails.
Return on Investment
  • Product is not simple to manage.
  • Product is very expensive.
  • Documentation is too complicated to understand.
Alternatives Considered
vce vBlock is considered a converged solution wherein 3 vendors namely cisco, vmware and emc combined in a single rack/solution. Compared to Nutanix which is tightly integrated, vblock does not provide the ease of use, support and management. The solution does not offer that much if you buy it separately.
