I have worked with the folllowing solutions
Considering they all come in full SSD and Hybrid mode and they have plenty of memory, network and cpu configs i will give you my opinions from other perspective.
Nutanix
Pros:
- Best support service in the market.
- Easy to configure and rack
- Easy to install
- Possibly the best HCI solution that I am aware of.
- Almost plug and play
Cons:
It is very expensive
EMC Vxrail
Pros:
- Local support worldwide
- Very easy to install.
Cons:
- Relies very much on PSC, if PSC crashes or deleted you lose the entire VxRail and need to reinstall the entire solution (Been there done that)
- I get the feeling (and been told by former EMC's engineers) that there is not a lot of expertise on this product.
- I had a few disk failures.
Intel HCI
Pros:
- Cheaper than the other 2 options
- Local support and RMA. (At least in argentina)
Cons:
- You need to manually install and configure everything
- I don't particulary like intel's support.
- it is not HCI hardware, they are just normal blade severs, I get the feeling that Intel's techs do not have training on this.
- We had to replace several disks.
